The increase in cell phone distractions are setting kids back. With the strong leadership of MPP Jess Dixon, we are tackling this issue head-on — working to limit cell phone use & change the behaviour of kids in the classroom. We are working together to ensure students focus on the curriculum & get back to basics.

CLEAN THE AIR. (or at least let parents do it if you aren’t willing.) x.com/tdotmum/status…

@Sflecce @Billy__Pang @NatalieKPierre @RobinMartinPC @RudyCuzzetto @MPPBarnesAjax @MPPKerzner @laurasthornhill @Effie_ONB @BramptonGraham @Charmomof5 Well no, my kids are in high school and their marks are in the upper 90’s. also the teachers only allow them to take out their phones if they have finished their work. And the majority of the kids comply. So not sure if this is really an issue.

@Sflecce @Billy__Pang @NatalieKPierre @RobinMartinPC @RudyCuzzetto @MPPBarnesAjax @MPPKerzner @laurasthornhill @Effie_ONB @BramptonGraham @Charmomof5 Who exactly is “we”? This group of people posing on a staircase nowhere near the inside of a school? How exactly are you “working together”? More empty words and photo ops are not a solution.
@Sflecce @Billy__Pang @NatalieKPierre @RobinMartinPC @RudyCuzzetto @MPPBarnesAjax @MPPKerzner @laurasthornhill @Effie_ONB @BramptonGraham @Charmomof5 Thanks for the re- re- re-announcement. Tackling the ubiquity of cell phones in the classroom is far more complex than your vapid approach to the Education portfolio allows. Good luck, though. Maybe start by speaking with actual teachers (hint: you’ll find them in classrooms).
@Sflecce @Billy__Pang @NatalieKPierre @RobinMartinPC @RudyCuzzetto @MPPBarnesAjax @MPPKerzner @laurasthornhill @Effie_ONB @BramptonGraham @Charmomof5 Sounds great. How will this be practically implemented in the classroom? #onted
@Sflecce @Billy__Pang @NatalieKPierre @RobinMartinPC @RudyCuzzetto @MPPBarnesAjax @MPPKerzner @laurasthornhill @Effie_ONB @BramptonGraham @Charmomof5 My kids aren’t allowed phones in class. This is solution looking for a problem. But you know what would be great, if my son’s music teacher didn’t have to buy the school instruments out of her own pocket.
