One year later: How is Quebec's cell phone ban in schools going?
Published 3 weeks, 5 days ago
Description
The first school year under Quebec's province-wide cellphone ban is almost over, and early feedback from many schools suggests it's having a noticeable impact. Teachers report more conversation in hallways and cafeterias, while some students say the policy has helped improve social skills after years of pandemic-related isolation. Adam Wiltzer, a teacher at Royal West Academy, where a cellphone ban was already in place before the provincial rules took effect, spoke to Ken Connors.
