Ontario Teachers' Union Calls For Health-Related Classroom Wi-Fi Ban
New submitter KJE writes "The CBC is reporting that an Ontario teachers' union is calling for an end to new Wi-Fi setups in the province's 1,400-plus Catholic schools. The Ontario English Catholic Teacher's Association (OECTA) says computers in all new schools should be hardwired instead of setting up wireless networks. The OECTA, in its paper (PDF), said the 'safety of this technology has not thoroughly been researched and therefore the precautionary principle and prudent avoidance of exposure should be practiced.'"
In one of my extended studies classes (8th grade if I remember correctly) the teacher came to school wearing one blue and one black shoe. Both shoes were the same style... just different shades of color. She excused it as "getting ready in the dark."
You reminded me of that day and I thought it was pertinent in some dark twisted way.
Every time I start to have faith in humanity, I ruin it by driving to work between 7 and 8 am.
