A survey of Ontario High School students has found that most of them (27.9% to 72.03%) are against the idea of using cells phone as a resource in class. Leaside High School student Zane Schwartz (inset) helped create and run the survey in his capacity as a Toronto District School Board student trustee. It is the first ever Ontario wide survey of high school students. It found a thoroughly reasonable understanding of how cell phones distract from concentrated work. Of course there’s still that 27.9% — actually closer to 32% in Toronto. The survey ranged across a spectrum of topics including sex education (kids want more) to bullying and the value of starting school at 10 a.m. There was a split decision here. This story from the Spectator is quite good. See also The South Bayview Bulldog post from last September when the Premier was ruminating about cell phones in class. Student survey says no to cells in class
