Global National: April 28, 2024 | Ontario cracking down on cell phone usage, vaping at school

Күн бұрын

In tonight’s top story: Canada's biggest province, Ontario, is cracking down on cell phones in class and making changes to the rules when it comes to vaping. The province says it's plan includes some of the strongest measures in this country to "protect the "mental and physical health" of children and to curb distraction at school, but some advocates say the plan itself is a distraction from more pressing issues. Kayla McLean reports.
It has been a tense weekend at number of American campuses with pro-Palestinian protests. Some schools have closed their doors or shut down certain areas. Protesters are digging in their heels and telling authorities that they won't leave. And now the movement has come to Canada, with Montreal students also refusing to take down tents at McGill University, claiming they'll stay until the school meets their divestment demands. Abigail Bimman reports.
In other news, homeownership is viewed by many in Canada as a milestone and a major step on the path toward setting oneself up financially for retirement. But breaking into the housing market remains elusive for many Canadians. In recent polling done exclusively for Global News, around 72 per cent of non-owners said they’ve “given up” on ever being able to own a home. Meanwhile, 80 per cent said homeownership is now a privilege reserved for the rich. Anne Gaviola has more on whether renters can set themselves up for financial success in the long run.
Plus, new rules in Alberta could change how much control municipal officials have over their own governance. As Heather Yourex-West reports, the changes would give the province the power to repeal bylaws and even remove elected officials.
And, the United Nations Security Council is expressing deep concern for the crisis in Sudan's Darfur region. An opposition military group is closing in on the region's main city and thousands are at risk if the conflict with the Sudanese army escalates. Nearly 7 million people are uprooted from their communities, the biggest internal displacement crisis in the world. Nearly 5 million children under the age of five and new or expecting mothers face malnutrition. Redmond Shannon reports on a crisis that the world simply cannot ignore.
Also, a new documentary series, produced by James Cameron, is taking a deep dive into a special resident of British Columbia: the giant Pacific octopus. As Kylie Stanton reports, a Vancouver Island resident - known as the octopus whisperer - was tapped to help make it happen.

Phones should be left in the locker during class time. For those parents who think their child should have their cell phone so mom or dad can call them in an emergency, too bad, that's why schools have a land line. Call the school, and the school can tell the student to come to the office to call home. Just like they did before cell phones.

Yeah, I don't see any difference with this legislation. Teachers have always had the right to take cell phones or demand they are out of sight out of mind, and vaping products are illegal for anyone under 18 anyhow. The rules are already there, the problem is enforcement. Rephrasing the rules will not change behaviour, only a change in how the rules are enforced will bring change. I don't own a cell phone, but better or worse, they are a huge part of todays world, for students and adults alike. Often times the phones that kids have work better than the school provided tech, and if you think internet isn't an important educational tool than think again, research is not done in the library anymore. I understand the addictive capacity of social media and the distractions cell phones pose in a learning environment, but removing them from the equation is not preparing our kids for the real world. If schools don't teach kids right and wrong ways with cell phone use it's even less likely they will get those valuable lessons at home. I taught elementary music for over a decade and a massive chunk of what I had to teach was not related to the music curriculum at all, it was about how to behave and interact with each other. Dare I also bring up the fact that suspension is a last resort and highly discouraged by most boards, only to be used in extreme cases that involve violence, theft, or other legal violations. The attitude is that easy suspensions just allow kids that don't want to be in school an easy means to get out. How do you think the threat of suspension for multiple violations of cell phone rules is going to go down?

@ownrhythm6536 16 күн бұрын

Your comment goes against the grain of everything schools are trying to accomplish with education for everyone, despite the parenting resources available at home, which you will agree are lacking in many cases. Suspensions are only given out in extreme cases that involve serious violations because is is widely accepted that a student acting out just wants out of class. With your rules, there would be a massive cohort of kids that get no education because they would be constantly suspended. I agree that they should not be a distraction in class, but realize that computers are playing a larger roll in lessons at school and a cell phone is essentially a small computer.

This is how absolutely pathetic and ridiculous our society has become. Freedom of Speech - absolutely, we live in a democratic society and everyone should be free to speak their minds, voice their concerns and they also have the "right" to protest PEACEFULLY. But all of a sudden you have these students out of nowhere making DEMANDS, and if the the school doesn't meet their DEMANDS and they won't leave the camps? Who the hell do you think you are? Let me remind you - your camps are set up on the university ground, which is a private property. You simply pay your tuition in exchange for education here, you are NOT in any position whatsoever to make any "DEMANDS", However, since you don't like the current war situation, you are more than welcome to go protesting, kicking, screaming and yelling to get attention for all I care. This young, ignorant generation is out of control.

What are they gonna do physically remove the vape or cellphone from the kids hand? The kid will just say "nah" and walk away. "Regular use of e-cigarettes also continues to be widespread in Canada, with 17 per cent of students having used an e-cigarette in the past month, down slightly from 20 per cent in 2018-19, but is again higher in grades 10 to 12 with over 24 per cent being monthly users." 24% of grade 10-12 students vape. They are gonna suspend that many people? 1 in 4 parents are gonna get a phone call? Enjoy that waste of resources schools. You know what results in worse educational outcomes? Overly harsh punitive measures against teenagers. Smoking and vaping are already banned in schools, this does nothing but create students who don't want to be in class.
