As a teacher, I can say there’s been such a ban on phones recently that’s kinda crazy, but the real onus is on the parents who need to teach their own children how to handle technology properly. You can only expect so much of teacher who see sa kid for maybe 8-15 hours a week, where as the parent literally controls them and their free time at home. You can’t expect an iPhone/ipad to raise a kid
Yeah
We live in a different world
Kids
Need them 24/7
Medical, Family, kids have online jobs now ( CZcams Influencer)
SA A KID?????🚔
@@blueferal8626 They said teacher. They didn't say English teacher.
@@zcorpalpha2462 They have jobs during school? the school has a phone for emergencies.
Kids DON'T NEED CELL PHONE IN CLASS your there to learn not socialize.
Too bad the teachers aren't there to teach.
What happened? Did someone grow a brain?
Addiction training
No they lost them
That question comes with no encouragement but it should
😂😂😂
can only hope
In what world does a Kindergartener have a cell phone?
Bad gramas
Yeah its crazy, i am 13 and got mine last year. I now see grade 3s and 2s on plones
Because the parents are lazy dumbasses.
Medical needs, Family issues
I could go on
@zcoralpha
TikTok and Instagram you mean?
Blame the weak parents for giving all access to phones at a young age.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yeah when i was in highschool they they would kick you out of class for using cell phones..or they take it for the whole period and give it back after class
Yea but that’s from a time where if u don’t know something it’s explained to you, they don’t just treat you like ur brain dead and move on, that’s the difference, hard to maintain focus when the teacher doesn’t care if u learn it or not
We didn't have cell phones... 😅
Yes and they should do that today too. But getting the government involved is anti-libertarian and just asking for trouble. This is between the schools and the parents. KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OUT.
@@lslice5283they don’t do that now
sooooo how its always been for everyone? When were they ever allowing kids to be on their phone in class?
How did we ever make it through school before cell phones came along?
Crazy idea... what if parents stopped sending kids to school OR actually punished kids for not listening to teachers...
That won’t happen
THIS!!! ITS THE PARENTS FR
Yeah the last thing we need are less children in school
@@BronzeGamer11 what??
@@Tony-xy7ljit's called sarcasm, genius.
Start teaching a better curriculum, something that will actually help students in the long run.
Idk my highschool was pretty fine
Like what? Seems pretty well rounded when I was in school
Or just get off your phone while your at school.
@@alexrobertson8936Well rounded? Lol schools do not teach anything useful for life.
it doesn't matter what you're teaching if you're competing for attention with tiktok
How about regulations on rent, i agree they shouldn't be using phones while in class but i also think we got much bigger issues then cell phones in the classroom
Government can do more than one thing
Why is nobody talking about how they ALWAYS WERE BANNED until someone came along with the bright idea of "digital learning"?
Sitting still for hours like prisoners is a very outdated system of education. The education structure is outdated and inefficient.
lol. Grow up and learn discipline
He's not wrong @@flopes11
@@MatttttiP really? Because they’ve made a lot of changes through the history of teaching and not once has it produced better students. Why is it that kids who come from other countries that use “outdated” methods preform better than the kids here?
Why are you spending 30 mil for detecting smoking/ vaping? Huge waste of money , sounds like no one can do their job
It’s almost like the school curriculum nowadays is garbage and teaches you nothing important about life after school and that you can probably learn more from your phone than school to begin with 🙃
Will children have the right to ask adults to leave the classroom when the adult talks about sexuality?
Do children have the right to say “NO”
and what are the parents doing??? if they have such a problem with it, same with their kids grades… i just don’t get it
No recording teachers...
What if learning was actually made fun and captured the attention of young minds? There's a big reason why very few students actually enjoy learning, and that's because it's taught in a way that's usually boring and doesn't keep their attention for long, if at all.
School needs to be a place where students are excited to go and learn and sad because they have to go home after the school day is over.
Why didn't they put this ban in place long time ago???
I thought they were? I was in highschool a decade ago and it would get taken if you were caught? What happened? Lol
I guess this applies to teachers and politicians too? 😅
They keep fact checking what teachers say 😂
I was in high school in 2010, and the rules were exactly the same, so what's changed?
When did they allow phones in class??
Didn't this air back in 2010?
"Parents supporting the ban" is honestly hilarious as they are the source of the problem. They got the kids the phones.
If grades aren’t there fail them!! Period!!
Hahahah Teachers are fed up getting caught doing stupid things and saying stupid things that go against parents values
orrrrrrrr, they realize how far behind this generation is academically.
Ontario has the lowest education level for the whole province, in all of Canada
Cell phones were just becoming affordable when I was in school. Now, they aren't the smartphones we have today, but they still weren't allowed in class. When did it become ok? Because my old ass would never have thought they would be ok at any point in time.
Pretty sad they gotta make that rule for for CHILDREN in kindergarten to grade 6 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
I agree. I have 2 teens and they also agree.. shocking..
absolutely.....but also ban cellphones for teachers ....should not be using phones during working hours.....I can't have a phone in my weld station.
Do you want to ban cells for your boss because you can't have your phone at your weld station?
Same logic
@@nancetardiff339 no cellphones while you are being paid to work..for everyone, younger guys I work with spend time on their phones during working hours
You smoke drugs at school, choose to cut off your body parts but you can't choose to use their phone. It's all bad but common.
They couldn't find b-roll that wasnt all iphone 4s lmao
Are the kids supposed to own a 1500$ top of the line phone?
I'd only stay off my phone if they taught something worthwhile.
Why do kids in K-6 even HAVE cell phones??? These kids are under 12 years old.
these common sense laws, that must have taken a team of government workers to figure this one out. Next drugs are bad who knowz
Bro when I was at school we were not allowed to use our phones lol
Did you guys not already have that? I went to 17 schools, they had to be silent and not seen or in your locker, teachers are so lazy now that they LET students be on them all class
I wont allow my kids a phone ever. Till class is dismissed. If theres a emergancy the teacher has my number.
Why did it take so long?
they should give everyone under 21 a flip phone with no browser or apps. 😂
Totally agree, all over Canada . All ages
Sure that makes sense
*why are parents giving their kids a phone?*
next ban chromebooks and online homework
Who the hell gives there a 10 year old a cell phone lol.
Was that stock footage from 2015?
I agreed that's the most sensible thing to do.
Ohh yeah, unless using it for sectional purposes… that’s to much leniency this rule won’t work like that.
This has got to be the stupidest thing I’ve ever watched
wow. this only took WAY TOO LONG.
If parents wanted their kids to learn they wouldn't have sent them to school
Doesent help when kids get stapes or assaulted at school
Still don't teach you how to make a buck.
If parents dont like it they can take the kids out of school. Education is a privilege not a right.
Education is 100% a right, in fact it's the law
About time. Ive been saying this for years. If you cant use your phone at work you cant use it in schools
Casio calculator company might like this news.
What kindergarteners are using phones?
More government overreach. This is between the schools and the parents... Liberals and conservatives are the same... All they care about is more overreach and control. This is NOT about the policy itself, but that it is inappropriate and anti-libertarian for the government to be involved in petty matters like this.
Big government overreach
stupid cell phones are not going anywhere this ban will be reversed
I'm sorry what why are kindergarten to 6th grade even allowed to have cell phones😮
Give them a f****** old fashioned iPod or something they don't need to have a device that can freely connect to the internet
Should have been done long ago
Go back to results 🎉🎉
Yes it is about time
L
Bloody GREAT I AGREE 100 PERCENT
Makes logical sense
Call it a self own.
Following Quebec's lead
isn't this the buck a beer guy? I'm surprised he's still here
Why do kids need cellphones in the class?
Most of my work is on things like google classroom and stuff, it’s easier and faster to type than to handwrite
@@iswearidonthavedementia5229and thats why the schools should be providing kids with Ipads and laptops. We had them when i was in school.
@@BronzeGamer11 yes just keep the taxes rolling lol
@@BronzeGamer11 they do if you don’t have one, if you do why wouldn’t you be able to use your own??
Better late than never
The Trucker Convoy will be minor to these kids revolting.
ABOUT TIME!
Yes!
500％ support
Well duh
Great job
Just wait at work we're going to take your cell phones away from you
Kids,
Just quit
Home school , take your tests online

hope this is sarcasm but you cant be sure these days
about time!
love it.
Tip for parents: If your kids must have a cell phone for emergencies, buy them a "dumb phone" that can only make calls. No text, no games, no internet, tiny screen.
Tip
For you
Certain doctors only FaceTime or Skype 😂
@@zcorpalpha2462 Wow. Maid candidate here
schools have phones....
Great policy
👍👍
Rather than having teachers police students, just ban the cellphone from schools period.
Kids are in school to learn, they don’t need a phones, plain and simple
Then how do parents connect with their kids to and from school? Ban it from class yes 100% but from school, no. Do you have kids in highschool and elementary school as well? I do and I need to call them in case of an emergency.
@Paul-vw9tq then you call the school... not sure if you know this but a few generations went through school without a cell phone...
@Tony-xy7lj in an emergency I'm not putting the onus on anyone else. Class yes school no. I don't have to worry as mine are homeschooled but I can see how a parent wants to have an immediate way to contact their kids
Why? What emergency do you need to call your kids directly for while they are at school? You need to be able to take a step back and let your kids live their own life... what your describing is helicopter parenting...
@@Tony-xy7lj "helicopter parenting" sure.
When I was 15 I had a phone which allowed my mom to get a hold of me , in turn that allowed me to say goodbye to my father while he was actively dying from an accident at work.
Things happen and life can change in an instant. Nothing wrong with being prepared. You don't want your kids to have a phone feel free. As soon as mine are spending more time away from me they're getting one. There's no perfect book written on parenting either. Nobody has all the answers so lay off the tik tok parenting advice.
About time...
about time
Years too long in coming.
About time.
Kids need phones so they can record when the teachers and staff are being terrible, which we all know they often are
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not the dangerous emf radiation....not the wifi...not speaking of sexual preferences...I guess they can start super late somewhere
None of those are real issues
@@alexrobertson8936 oh...the thing that should be considered a class one car. And that recently lost the case in 2021 after 17 years of legal tussel is not an issue...to who? The ignorant? Adults speaking to children not about generalities but of personal preferences and how to perform certain acts is not an issue? To who? A NMBLA member? What you willfully oblivious self considers an issue is not what everyone does. Go vote or something. Keep yourself busy
@@1goldinga Bro you take your meds today? Not making a lot of sense there buddy
@@1goldingatake your meds for fk sake
All agree with this when teachers are actually teaching
Please ban liberalism next!
ah, yes. Ban your political opposition because you don't like them. That's a great and DEFINITELY not authoritarian idea.
“If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism, they will abandon democracy”
What is up with 2024
Or use the phone to your advantage
