I don't understand the excerpt here. What is the topic being talked about?
A bunch of school boards in Ontario have launched lawsuits against TikTok, Snapchat, and Meta, alleging the way the social media platforms are designed is harming children and disrupting schools.
Ford disagrees with the lawsuits, but also believes that his ban on cellphones in schools in 2019 was effective. This demonstrates yet again that he and his government are clueless when it comes to education in this province.
Schools have been trying and failing to ban cell phones for like 20 years. If we could ban phones from school, we would have succeeded by now.
has no one considered dampening fields?
The best way to enforce this ban is to make sure all the teachers and staff have cell phones. At least that's we in the US are doing. Or something like that.
The only way to stop a bad guy with a cell phone is a good guy with a cell phone. Or something like that.
