    Right? I survived just fine withiut a cell phone until partway through high school. If there was an emergency, my parents would just call the school.

      In Montreal, it is common for students after a certain age to start commuting back home with public transit. Using the school as the single point of contact is not always possible.

        The ban isn’t preventing students from bringing a cell phone and keeping it turned off in their lockers all day.

        As an aside, hello fellow Montrealer.
