How are we going to enforce these?

Because you already can't vape in schools, and it's been possible for boards to ban cellphones, but teachers don't have the backing of administration and they're certainly not protected from liability.

If I were a teacher knowing that if I were to bust little Johnny for TikToking in class or vaping in the washroom, I'd have to face a belligerent student and/or angry parents and the principal, superintendant and ministry would hang me out to dry, I wouldn't bother.

This is just another Ford government way to put the public sector in a lose-lose position so that they can, in this case, start out a voucher system run by private-sector buddies.

They would rather sweep the problem under the rug rather than teaching kids about responsible and safe use of technology etc… it’s far easier and less costly.

But what about those damn phones? Kids surely aren't using their phones cuz the classes r boring as shit due to a boring and underfunded education system. Now that we have taken their phones away, they surely won't find some other distraction like bullying the teacher, fooling around with their peers and so on... They surely are going to be model students who always pay attention to the teacher and everything that is taught. /s
