Personally I feel that the only time you should take a cue on your own is when the SM is dealing with a real emergency and cannot physically call the cue or specifically tells you to take the cue yourself due to technical difficulties or somesuch. Otherwise if they are just ADDing out and slacking or something like that then you don't take the cue....it helps them learn to pay attention when they screw up and get crap for it from the Director.
