    Education Minister Stephen Lecce has announced a “comprehensive” crackdown on cellphones in schools that will take effect in September. According to the new rules, kids in kindergarten to Grade 6 will be required to keep phones on silent and out of sight for the entire day, while those in grades seven and up won’t be allowed to use phones during class time. Will the ban work? Is it actually any different than what’s already in place at schools across the province? We ask an expert: Sachin Maharaj, a University of Ottawa education professor who has spent a lot of time researching the impact of cellphones in schools. Bottom line: we have to do something, because it’s absolutely clear that these devices are damaging kids’ mental health and social wellbeing. Also on the podcast this week: a powerful story about a Collingwood cancer patient who chose to die on her own terms.
