👉As Ontario schools implement new rules banning cellphone use in classrooms, critics are raising concerns about enforcement and effectiveness. The regulations, aimed at reducing distractions, require students from kindergarten to Grade 6 to keep phones silent and out of sight, while older students must avoid using them during class. Exceptions are allowed for educational purposes or special needs. However, teachers’ unions are seeking clearer guidelines on enforcement and support for educators. Questions remain about handling situations where students resist compliance or if confiscated phones are damaged, leading to uncertainty as the new school year begins.✅ .

👉Ontario Premier Doug Ford expressed confidence in the ability of convenience stores near schools to responsibly sell alcohol as the province expands alcohol sales to over 4,000 stores on September 5. This comes despite concerns from the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF) about increased student access to alcohol. Ford compared the situation to the sale of tobacco and lottery tickets, emphasizing that stores have managed those responsibly. He also defended the move by contrasting it with the closure of supervised consumption sites near schools, stating that convenience stores don't present the same risks as those sites.✅ .

👉Five additional Ontario school boards and two private schools have joined a lawsuit against major social media companies, alleging their platforms negatively impact students' thinking, behavior, and learning. The lawsuit, initially filed by several public and Catholic school boards in March, argues that social media's addictive nature disrupts learning and harms mental health, forcing schools to allocate significant resources to address these issues. The plaintiffs, now including Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board, York Catholic District School Board, Trillium Lakeland District School Board, Ottawa Catholic District School Board, District School Board of Niagara, and two private schools, seek $4.5 billion in damages from Meta, Snap, and ByteDance.✅ .

👉Major Ontario school boards, including Toronto, Peel, and Ottawa-Carleton, along with Toronto's Catholic board, are collectively suing Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok for $4.5 billion. Premier Doug Ford opposes the move, denouncing it as 'nonsense.' The boards allege that these platforms have negatively impacted students, contributing to an attention, learning, and mental health crisis. The coalition, named Schools for Social Media Change, claims the apps promote cyberbullying, hate speech, and misinformation, and are designed to deliver harmful content. They argue that students are exposed to content related to suicide, drugs, and sexual activity without consent.✅ .
