Ontario School Cellphone Restrictions
Ontario requires students' phones to be kept away and out of use during class time, with tighter limits for younger grades, to reduce classroom distraction. Supporters point to research linking phone use to lower attention and to bullying. Opponents question enforcement and say phones can aid learning and safety. The policy is in force across publicly funded schools and its effects are debated.
