Wil's Rant

I can understand why Quebec has banned the use of cellphones and cameras in the classroom following the posting of a humiliating video of a Quebec teacher on YouTube. My problem with the concept has to do with those teachers who violate the rules and ethics themselves. Cellphone cameras may be the only viable tool a student has to prove the accusations against such a teacher. It's true that the cameras may be misused, but I strongly worry that their lack might be even more dangerous. Perhaps a better approach might be to train teachers to better respond to the kind of taunting that created the embarrassing video in the first place as opposed to removing the proof of such.
