The Ford government announced Sunday it will introduce new limits on cellphone use and ban vaping devices in schools, as it moves to reduce distractions in the classroom.
Ontario Education Minister Stephen Lecce said Sunday the province would implement the plan in the fall, calling it the “toughest policy in Canada.” But the announcement has been met with mixed reaction from parents and critics.
“I think that the ban is a good idea. Enforcing it is an entirely other matter. They’re trying to reverse what has become a cultural norm,” one man told Global News.
On Sunday, the education minister also said the provincial code of conduct would be updated to standardize the approach to banning vapes in schools. But a device being used to detect vaping at six public high schools in Peel Region are causing alarm because of privacy concerns.
Caryn Lieberman and Colin D’Mello reports on that approach.

Honestly this is common sense and should have been in place years ago. Teachers could have a big Rubbermaid box that all cell phones go into in the morning and students can access during lunch/recess/breaks.

Today's parent bubble wraps their kid and thus everything's an emergency.

@FreedaPeeple-in2mn 19 дней назад

They want them to allow phones because of possible emergencies. Schools have phones and emergencies happened long before cell phones existed.

@ZenCorvus 19 дней назад

Those parents think everything's an emergency

Social media delivers 1000x more dopamine than a line of cocaine. Good Luck !!!!!

Can you point me to your source please.

I would have thought vaping was already handled. They are kids why were they allowed in the first place ? Can they smoke weed as well since it's legal ?

@michaelperry49 19 дней назад

should have a basket for phones during classes. if an emergency call the school directly

@Theoxuesu 18 дней назад

Is it really that different in other schools? Because in the schools I went to this was pretty par for the course, my schools also had a zero tolerance policy on vaping or smoking on school grounds.

Parents need to shut down social media and texting during school. Parents can control this. Social media is a kind of drug and is completely distracting. If parents will just turn off the social media, the students could have the phones to make emergency calls. Students literally have a soft addiction with these that got started during Covid 19

@Bradfitz15 19 дней назад

They have land lines in Schools for emergencies. So no phones should be in school period

Vaping Tax isn’t high enough.

From who? Terrible parents ans students? Don't care.

@alexg9727 18 дней назад

With the bullying and new kind of students arriving from other countries who are violent I would prefer kids have phones to record the criminals

Social media addiction is an epidemic. Truly is. Not the tech, but the apps. Great tools but useless when you can’t compete with the temptation they give off. The apps are literally designed to be addicting. No amount of prep /teaching strategies can out compete that.

Australia 🇦🇺 is already a vaping-free country. So should Canada 🇨🇦. - Vape liquid comes from China 🇨🇳, and you never know what the Chinese put in there.

@noirmanoir1061 19 дней назад

This is about surveillance i think. However, I kind of agree with the vaping ban even though i don't like the government involved in that. If the government was serious about canadians health they would go after big tobacco. Sugars and nicotine should be regulated. Food scientists have pefected crafting unhealthy addictive foods for companies and it's wrong. The phones no. That needs to be a social contract between students and teachers based on respect.

Canadian 🇨🇦 schools should ban both Chinese apps, TikTok and WeChat. - Not only do they pose national security risks and privacy infringements, but they are also harmful to young people.

@SenorBeavis-qn3gy 19 дней назад

Cellphones were a problem in 2001 when i went to school. Have it on silent or switched off during class.

@Caennuck 19 дней назад

Kids are more dis-regulated than ever. They are academically behind as a result of COVID. Taking away addictive distractions sounds like a good idea to me.

@JS-te4gz 18 дней назад

Also vaping weed or regular you need to be 19 so why should they allow minors to do it?

@Caennuck 18 дней назад

Because teachers aren’t allowed to regulate behaviour anymore. The kids run roughshod over them and the admin/board system don’t back them up.

@JohnnyPeacenic 19 дней назад

Kid's quite school when they can't get their nicotine

@CountryWilly 19 дней назад

Kids are no more addicted to their phones than adults so come sept adults leave your phones at home

@sonnydash4987 19 дней назад

I agree with emergencies because before 2002, we never had emergencies.

@th3falleng0d69 19 дней назад

No. My sons phone is my personal property and no teacher shall "take it" from me or my child period. This will end up in court for sure, schools are not prisons and rules are not laws and can't be enforced in the same manner. This is unacceptable and will not last.
