I have never figured out why kids need cell phones at school. Went kindergarten to grade 13 without one. If parents needed to contact me they called and left a message at the office. Worked for many years before cell phones came out.
Agreed!! Parents today are babies and are raising babies!! Go back to the days of standing in the hall or in the corner better yet writing out lines when you act up!! Oh I forgot sadly these kids can write either!!
school cellphone bans as a "joke"Students often turn to technology to compensate for poor teachingAI-powered tutoring can provide a level of personalized, immediate support
Definitely not. How much power and control do you want governments to have. We need to get back to basics and teach our kids to be discerning following laws that govern mankind. Let’s look back in history and see what we’re missing. Oh yes! Life’s guide book If you have a problem with your automobile you take it to repair shops that use manuals for reference. What a novel idea. The designers knew how things are supposed to work. Mankind also has a designer.
Kids don’t need iPhones. If a parent needs to contact their child at school can’t they call the office? Especially in the elementary grades, 1-8. It’s ridiculous to hand a child an iPhone, you’re giving them access to a world full of creeps and walking away. They haven’t developed the awareness of the dangers and consequences of putting themselves out there on the internet. Protect their innocence as long as you can by not giving them an iPhone. If you need to be in contact with them as they start to go out with friends in their early teens, just give them a flip phone so they can call you. Perhaps when they turn 16 and start to drive this would be a good time to give them an iPhone, to be helpful with directions and locations.
This man is a shameless narcissist.Just like when Trudeau is in power, PP now blames everything on Carney... including losing his own MP's.I look forward to the day that the CPC has a fully functional adult in charge instead of the gaggle of maladjusted reform party rejects leading the way the last few years (PP, Scheer, Lantsman, et al)
I'm so tired of his whiny voice. The guy needs to go get a real job. He's never done anything else. His constituents turfed him and instead of bowing out gracefully he forced himself into a new riding. He's pathetic.
It’s Carney that’s a laugh. 8 months later he still has made zero progress on the tariff situation other than throwing fat government checks to industries with our own tariff taxes. Liberal solutions involve throwing money we don’t have to problems created by corporations of his friends.
If Ford ever had the smarts and guts to actually ban them - by backing teachers 100% on removing cell phones and disciplining kids - it would work. He won't. He wants the teachers to be the "bad guys". He's a gutless chicken.
I survived the turn of the century, y2k, the predicted end of the world in 2012, Sars, Swine Flu, and a global pandemic...I'm not about to be taken out by a Pizza Pop.
I don’t think kids should be on social media…but it certainly isn’t the government’s job. Parents need to be more responsible with what they allow for their children.
So he is CEO at GFL which stands for green for life, yet pollutes the environment every time he uses his superyacht. Way to go! lol This is what Google AI says about superyachts when I asked if they cause pollution. Yes, superyachts cause significant pollution through massive fuel consumption (CO2, NOx, SOx), noise disrupting marine life, and waste (sewage, plastics), contributing heavily to climate change and marine ecosystem damage, with their individual carbon footprints often exceeding small countries' emissions.Even though it is a hydrogen hybrid he still uses regular fuel so don't let the words fool you! "Green Infrastructure is paying most of the cost of demolishing the old hospital and and redeveloping the property." The old hospital is still standing and appears to be a spot to store large equipment. Quite similar to the new police station downtown; it is a place to park cars.
