Maybe parents should PARENT, and limit the devices.
Ridiculous to sue social media because it's too effective. If the latter "flies", maybe I could sue Loblaws for selling food that makes me fat
Apps such as Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok are harming children?
So the School Board wants to sue these social media giants because of these apps and the harm they're causing for children?
Why aren't they suing the parents of bullies? Bullies cause not just mental harm but physical harm.
This isn't about the children. It's about MONEY!
When I was a kid cell phones were not allowed. so we could focus.
What!? That's crazy!! Imagine if they implemented that today? Oh hahaha men, they should.
@@Unknown-us3iiya they should… because your generation is as dumb as boot… social media is not a school.. and the only this it teaches is ignorance.. and it shows in the way your dumb generation carry’s themselves
It was hard enough to focus, even without phones, so you can imagine. Phones need to be kept at home.
That’s not realistic and you must’ve been a kid ages ago?
I’m 26 / an older gen z with millennial siblings and even by their gen it was too late. This is a 20+ year old issue at this point that we’re still struggling to even begin to address.
But to put it simply; simply banning things has never worked.
@@jonyqueespeut he's not saying to ban cellphones... he's talking about not allowing, you may think both are the same, they are not. Banning is not letting phones in the school, not allowing phones means they cannot be brought up in class unless it's an emergency of course.
Why do kids need cell phone to school when each class room has phone and extension numbers to respective teachers bottom line if it was banned earlier why are they still not taken seriously so first culprit boards themsleves
Why do they need cell phones at all ?
Who do you think has the deepest pockets 4 School Boards or 4 Media Giants? Litigation alone will be years if not decades of billable hours. Then the real possibility the suit being tossed.
if your child is spending 5 hours or more on social media and its impacting his/her academic life the first thing you do is be a parent, not sue the companies, i swear these people would sue the internet if they could
It's all about $$$
Parents don't seem to be able to accept responsibility for their children....perhaps THAT is the primary problem, and is reflected in their children's actions?
@@airborne63it’s cause their parents are probably blindly addicted to their phones too.
When a school board desperately needs money in their schools budget.
Agree they went on strike almost for two years twice asking for raise using the kids as escape goat but never once they all took blame of the conduct and decorum declining in years parents have become puppets to their kids and teachers playing the blame game it's high time they start accepting their mistakes and they stand up for their integrity if at all there is one as a parent and teacher it hurts me to watch kids as young as in elementary school becoming meaner and insensitive and watch both parents and teachers do nothing.
@vijishekar3656 parent need to learn to parent and be able to teach h their kids, No! Most of you parent can’t even spell or count, So you place the blame on teachers… first and foremost the parents are the teachers.. but dumb people don’t get that.
Strange the teachers pension is invested in Snap and Apple
WTF does that have to do with anything about teaching in classrooms? Nothing. It’s a huge waste of money though when the solution is to get kids into the habit of turning their phones off during class. Some adults would do well to learn to turn their phones off during work.
@@msdemeanor6057 maybe they should sue the parents of their students for not listening
Unfettered access to smartphones is child neglect.
Let's blame the inanimate object. It couldn't possibly be my responsibility.
Just be quite 🤫!
@@callmemrbombastic1903quiet*
@@callmemrbombastic1903 You don't know how to spell quiet?
@@yuckmouth no my spell check doesn't mf'er! As you can see the emoji popped up so it was a glitch! It wasn't worth the proof read but it's good to see you know how too though! Took some time for you to notice huh 🤔!?
@@yuckmouth you got the message right 👍🏾!?
This was the same conversation in the 80s with rap music, the same convo in the 90s with skateboarding, the same convo in the 00s with videos games, same convo now with social media and the same convo with the next thing - *when will the accountability and responsibility be placed on the parents??*
Edit: In fact, all adults should be doing a better job safeguarding children from these behaviour affecting things and if adults collectively kept children from social media from the very onset the children wouldn't be as affected as they are today. What is happening in Florida should've been mandatory legislation at least a decade ago.
Uhhh.. musicians, skateboard and video game companies do not have product testing regimes that involve scanning the brains of their users and comparing them with the brains of cocaine and heroin addicts, and continually adjusting their products to elicit as much of the same effect as they can.
These people are drug designers and sociopaths.
How about a no cell-phone policy? Are these school boards sharing a single brain cell here?
Who is paying for this?? Obviously social media is harmful, but thats a home issue. What is this going to solve? What are the outcomes? Banning it?
It’s not gonna solve anything, because the schools are teaching children, mindbending mind-boggling behaviours of adults. They have plastered all of our society with this agenda. and what are they gonna do with the money buy more paraphernalia to brainwash the kids, perhaps use it to give your kids puberty blockers while they are at school without your permission?
Bad parenting is to blame not social media
Allowing school-age children to have electronic cellphones was a bad mistake when a basic cellphone that only allows talking and texting, locked to only the parent's cellphone number should be given to students. NO SMARTPHONES SHOULD BE HANDED TO MINORS
If Amber whatsername in the BNN/Bloomberg newsroom can't pronounce most of the English words she was trying to use, perhaps she should seek employment that doesn't require verbal communication with the masses. Really, what has happened to the Primary School education system?
In past if you came here you had to speak OUR language AND understand it before coming.
a basic cellphone that only allows talking and texting, locked to only the parent's cellphone number should be given to students. NO SMARTPHONES SHOULD BE HANDED TO MINORS
Social Media: Where is parental accountability?! Stop blaming others and do your job - stop using technology to raise your kids.
Get bent!
The parents can sue themselves for buying and allowing their children on social media….
This is ridiculous
The school doesn’t buy the phones/tablets… the parents do 🙄
Better for the general public to enact vigilante justice if the Ontario Court system is broken.
Would be better if deporting all illegals etc
I seem like I am glued to my phone because I work on my phone and I also read on my phone like actual books and news articles instead of getting an actual book or newspaper. And I recently started using social media, because I am trying to learn how to network and socialize since many people prefer small talk in this extroverted society and they avoid meaningful conversations. Small talk turns into long talk but never a meaningful conversations in a way where you can actually reach out to somebody when you are dealing with a stressful event in life.
Phones also help people avoid interacting with people they are probably trying to avoid like a lot of people do instead of actually confronting people and interacting with them. Even on the bus people use their phones instead of looking around at other people.
The problem is parents spend more time on social media then kids do and zero time actually being a parent. The cell phone is the new babysitter. Here stare at this for 8 hours and leave me slone
Why not ban cellphone use in schools? Spend the money being used on legal fees to put in phone disabling tools.
Good idea. BUT too many parents will be crying because they can't get in touch with their spoiled little brat.
As the truck driver, the responsibility falls on the driver of the vehicle. That is why you do your circle. Check before starting your job. If anything is wrong with the vehicle you gotta put your tag on it and you can't use it. Annette truck Burns oil. It's defective. Can't use it until it gets fixed.
They have to give you another truck. You are charged as a driver and the company is charged. All rules are for all Canadians. Let's all be sand responsible.❤❤😊
Take the phones away from the kids !
The rules goes for each company's. That is working under the Government of Ontario.
I seen a garbage truck leaking oil all over the place. Next week same truck still leaking. This week its the suspension is making noise. Or was it the engine making noise from no oil in the engine. I seen them damage properly. Driving on grass and destroying the grass. Because it was wet from a rain storm.
Sue. Parents
What about sue cell phone companies
Also, sue McDonalds for me being fat.
Why didnt hydro come out to do the locate and mark it??? Lazy? Paid big bucks and charge big bucks to sit behind a desk to tell contractor what to do instead .
This is insanity and likely it will get tossed out of court. It's not the fault of the social media apps. It's the fault of the parents and the teachers. This would be like suing movie theaters if kids skip school to go see a film.
The school boards are in no position to make such statements, nor do they have the right to govern what internet tools parents allow their children. Quebec had the wisdom to dismantle the French school boards and appoint provincial directors. It's time we did the same in Ontario. In fact it is long past time we got rid of these relics from a bygone age of isolated communities.
They should be allowed to take phones away if these are even brought out during class, that would help.
@@Unknown-us3ii I have no issue with that. Phones are often ordered to be shut down during business meetings as they are disruptive, and that is in an adult venue. Take a look at school trustees and teachers alike - these are hardly the best and the brightest in society or they wouldn't be there, they'd be making real money in industry. These people are stupid losers who are power mad as a result of their tiny little position.
A direct result of school closure during covid…..😤😟
What a BS…seriously suing Social Media!!!!thats right bc it does the job why School board worry..that’s right can’t hide lots of BS!!!!!!!!!!going ON 👏👏👏👍
I don’t see why kids in elementary need to bring smart phones to school at all. High school kids should be made to turn their phones off during class. Each school and teacher should be able to enforce such simple rules. No need to make it a fucking issue.
FORD HAS GOT TO GO ..
There know sensorship online anymore...I believe kids are affected by the internet in not a good way ...& Adults too.
WHY NOW??? Cause hmmm...online harms bill enroute...
Funny that these teachers suing the social media companies also use social media.....
This is a HUGE waste of money
They also invest their pension in SNAP and Apple
parents should be taken care of the kids
shcool should be suing them selves
The fight is communication and the refusal of such. Similar to the submission of ID to recieve lunch when you are hungry and donot have lunch or lunch money. Confiscated electronic communication devices for exercising the individual right to freedom of expression and opinion.
Ya media propaganda and programming needs to stop
Take control in classrooms. Ban all phones. Less costly, more effective. Sudents learn 2 use their brains, & learn more of respect- during class time.
Who is in charge ayway?
i like how ppl are karens about trucks with black smoke , considering the whole city you cant breath lol
Why should students get paid less for the same job ? Wages should be based on ability not socio-status.
Will the school boards sue themselves for letting cellphones in classrooms? Will kids sue their parents for buying them phones? Will these school boards share the wealth if this multi billion dollar lawsuit pays off?
Why is it the school boards and not the federal government litigating this?
Yes indeed
Happy Easter 2024!❤
These kids have something called parents, right?
You know what they should do with the billions if they do get the money
They should put that money into housing for the country
Crap he is wrong .
I vote for the teachers. They are right.
Parents
How can there be increase of guns?!??!!
If guns are stopped sold!!! ???
Uh. Smugglers are a thing.
Thats why lawful people should be armed. Because criminals don't follow laws. And will find a way. only Law abiding people follow the law. Literally in the title. Good people being disarmed give good people a disadvantage against bad people. And encourages bad people to do bad things. Cause they know you aren't armed.
America. Longest boarder between any 2 countries. It won't stop and they know it. 90% of guns used in crimes or found at the scene of crime come from America.
A 3d printer or half a day in a machine shop you can make your own....It's not hard.
Trudeau's real father would be proud of what Canada has become.
Da. They are thinking "of the kid's" ,, Dddoug
You know it's funny, these people are the reincarnations of people from the past that said the same about Rock N Roll Music, Video Games, and on and on.
now thats fukkkin funny right there...doug ford worrying about somebody else wasting money....the pot and the kettle...you know the "thing"....haha...smh...
I support this move from the school board! Students missed way too much school already due to the pandemic 😕 and these distractions aren't helping! We weren't allowed cellphones in class growing up! The future is looking bleak because if these students don't learn anything who's going to run society!? And I'm definitely not interested in having AI 😔 do so!
Sue social media? For real? Can the police sue the alcohol companies or weed manufactures for all the careless/dangerous drivers?
What about lazy students not showing up for class, but are given 50%?
Teacher's aren't allowed to fail students any more. It might hurt their feelings. So a 'No Zero' policy was brought in. A teacher in Edmonton got suspended because he gave zeros to his students that didn't do the work they were asked to do.
@@XXLSSBBW truth be told, they actually can! Whether they'll win or not is another thing! There's a lot of corruption 😕 in the system 😔! Plus doing so will stop them from doing work!

@@callmemrbombastic1903 The education system needs to go back to the way it used to be. Fail students who are either late with no valid excuse or haven't turned in any work (again with no valid excuse). Give detentions/suspensions/expulsions to misbehaving students. Stop giving into parents demands on what punishments teachers are giving out.
Teach children a thing or two about "moderation". They can have their cellphones in class BUT only the calculator part of the phone. Put the phone on airplane mode so no calls/texts come through.
that law suit not going any where , ban cell use in class , you think at a work places they let you use phones ? I think lazzness of teachers and school board are to blame
😂😂😂 THANK YOU! LITERALLY, I... JUUSSST. Like out of ALLLLL of the things going on!
Facts, cellphones are banned in schools in Ontario. These teachers are dumb.
finally we can get rid of this internet s###
more leftist bs put the cash to teaching the kids
Good luck with that hahaha
Sue the CRTC the government aproves the carriers of this technologies, and its the same school boards that have men dressed in panties reading books to kids 😂😂😂
For my son, it’s video games.
I never ever been technology man but nowadays so convenience . I will say every few seconds I google . Even when I’m in bed woke up & google immediately .
No way y can blame tech but your fault
I can see it's had no effect on you. Lol
Great waste of money!
Who’s paying for it ?
What do they think is going to change!
Maybe just teach curriculum?! Z
Lmfao
Teachers should do their job, not blame TIc tok.
