Premier Dalton McGuinty thinks school boards should allow students to use cellphones in the classroom. He won’t even let his ministers have cellphones during cabinet meetings, because they can be distractting. He thinks there is a “right way” to use them in class-teachers could use cellphones to show students how to access information online. Now the Toronto District School Board is rethinking its ban on cellphones.
I think that this is an illogical idea because, as we all know, internet on cell phones costs a lot of money . Parents will be complaining about cell phone bills is through the roof . The other thing is that cell phone usage in class would lead to kids being very distracted because they would text during class and not pay attention to the teacher. Because of this kids will have more work at home and they would not do as well in school.
