Is Ontario's cellphone ban in schools enforceable? | CTV News Toronto at Six for Apr. 29, 2024 

Excelente law!! You go to school not to the bar 👍🏻👍🏻

Who on earth would argue students should be playing on their phones in school! We coudn't play cards or pass notes ever. It is shocking peopel are aruging kids need phones in class? Can these tached use their phones in their meetings at work can anyone ignore their work in a meeting seminar or even a movie?

Why do kids need cellphones in school? If there is a nuclear strike or a super tornado, everyone will be made aware by emergency services. Kids never had cell phones in the past and studied, if a family emergency occurred the school was contacted or the police showed up : that would be the response for a critical emergency that needed an immediate response. How many kids receive must come home call from any one because our house had burned down or Dad has had a heart attack? A very very very small number. Again ,emergency services handle this quite well. How to enforce the ban ? Easy. 1. ask everyone to turn off their phones and put away in their carry all. 2.If they can not do this, then have them turn over the device to a storage container on the teacher's desk and returned after class.3. If student refuses to comply, then send the student home. The parents who see school as a a baby sitting service will see to it that their child complies because they do not want the inconvenience of doing the baby sitting themselves. All the above is called discipline and courtesy and a needed skill if you want to have a job as an adult.

Social media and cellphones have destroyed young minds.

They should get rid of cellphones permanently, we lived thousands of years without it. Let's bring back the old days with a landline phone.

Awesome, back to human freedoms and real socialization ❤

At no time have I heard any mention of the parents part in this.

It definitely is enforceable. Unfortunately it’s the parents that are the bigger problem

Bring back the strap for 2nd strike!

This is crazy. It should totally banned while classes are in session. They should be left on the teacher's desk before class

Healthcare workers, the military, truckers, farmers, police. It makes sense that Trudeau would go after students eventually.

We didn't even have these functions on our phones when we went to school. They 100% don't need them.

Patient Relations is a misnomer. Their mandate is to protect the hospital from lawsuits. They are charged with finding out what the family knows and god help any nurse or doctor who is truthful with the family about what happened. The correct name is Hospital Guardian. If you want to improve emerg depts. slash the ridiculous salaries and pensions of the hospital senior management. Cut their salaries by 50 percent and hire an extra 20 emerg nurses.

No. The kids need more academic work to focus- but the teachers union never will agree!

They have had a uniform calculator requirement, why not a uniform phone which is only able to use as a phone or text. The real problem is the smart functionality.

This is the problem with all government employees. They are paid more than equivalent jobs in the private sector. They have gold plated pensions. Best in class benefits and job security. All paid for by the taxpayer

💥 It better be it has plays no part in education im a 92 baby and we got our phones taken away till the end of the day by whatever teacher caught us using it... its rude to everyone around us.. we arnt supposed to have them during work hours so why should kids get them during school hours? We weren't allowed to call our parents whenever we wanted why the hell should we be at our childs beckoning call. Deal with life just as we had to... country of morons is what we are making and its fkin embarrassing

100% for this. Stop fking with your phones and focus on your work.

This is the cost of the Honda battery money, something that will be very expensive and won’t work

they dont need to show real id for food bank

Yes it’s enforceable! See one take it and suspend! The principal and teachers have the power not the students! They do what they are told.

So, they only need to give up phones for a few hours during school hours?

Bravo

Tbh, I think if they're asking students to put away their cell phones, higher ups should ban teachers and admin from telling kids to go to school when they're too sick to function. It's also concerning for students with IEPs and who use AAC and other assistive technologies. I won't pretend I know what it's like to be a teacher, but working and learning alongside them and hearing about their working conditions I wish their were more nuances applied to these issues in post pandemic education.

Kindergarten kids have iPhones?? What sort of parents do this ?

Rather banning cell phones in schools The government should look into the Unemployment; increased growth of crime rate; Hunger; Poverty ; Increased food prices in Canada

I'm sure when robots take over the teaching profession they'll nip it in the bud.

Rightly So! Teachers are hired and paid to teach children not to parent them. The parents are the problem.

Everything in our school system is a fkn joke ! From top to bottom

So i guess there's no nore free open wifi? In BC the WiFi was open and free for kids at school..

Ban phones from schools , end of

Thanks CTV for the video.

when i was in school we had flip phones so it wasnt an issue. but i used to play on my laptop in class

Back in my day, they tried really hard to crack down on stopping kids from chewing gum. That never worked, know why? We were kids, and breaking rules is what we did. I also wondering if teacher confiscation phones, will they be responsible for them. They are expensive and if they go missing or are returned broken, will teacher come good for replacement or repair?

They took out prayers out of schools. They even take the name of God the creator out of schools. These children don't talk about who created them so taking out phone is no loss.

That is amazing that you guys are catching on now I don't know. This is like my 5th year in huge stomach pains. And I found out ibs irritable barrel syndrome runs in our family, not just that the other stomach issues running our family, but because I was using marijuana. for my depression, stress. And I came off my medication to be on marijuana instead. Literally. that hospital. accused me for overdosing on one gram That I weighed out I used to be really good on schedule for that, but. since they keep telling me that I'm overdosing. It's kind of funny. I'm smoking more now less than I was smoking maybe less than a gram, two a gram. Now I'm smoking a whole ounce right now. Physically, I'm smoking a whole ounce. and my stomach don't hurt because I eat what my Papa's been eating the first. person in my family that has irritable bowel syndrome. I'm following everything he eats and it was funny. I haven't had to go back to the emerge since. I went to a family doctor. and they said, yeah, I could have irritable bowel syndrome. That hospital should really get checked. They also broke my brother's arm. That's a different story.

Dumb q

In principle, I agree. HOWEVER! Kids need access to phones to contact parents, police, etc., because Ontario Ed is so cowardly, backward and weak that the adults refuse to adult. Make sure you’re hiring competent people who don’t abuse and gaslight students, then talk about a ban.

This seems like it will put a lot of teachers in danger.

This is not fair

Big government overreach🏴

Why do children have cell phones?

God i hate strikes. People support it and then complain fares and prices go up. Who do you think pays for their wage increase? employers? think again, it trickles down to us, the customers

Should never have let the damn things in classrooms. A laptop without soc media apps, however, I believe is essential.
