Looks like a ban on smartphones would be more reasonable, while allowing certain kinds of old school phones (the kind for example Hasidic Jews use), to allow for emergency contingencies.

Schools have dress codes, and people adapt to those. Maybe we just need tech codes.

This is just silly. Just ban the phones.

Right? I survived just fine withiut a cell phone until partway through high school. If there was an emergency, my parents would just call the school.

In Montreal, it is common for students after a certain age to start commuting back home with public transit. Using the school as the single point of contact is not always possible.

The ban isn't preventing students from bringing a cell phone and keeping it turned off in their lockers all day.

As an aside, hello fellow Montrealer.

No it is not silly. You're silly.
