Starting in August is a bit late to call it a summer experiment!

Here is an article showing potential breakdown on cost/profits that should be coming to the city. But again, we won’t know the full numbers until afterwards.

This is unfortunately something that we can only look at past events and how they preformed. If I remember correctly, Toronto isn’t building any new stadiums just for the World Cup games so they stand to make more money as there won’t be that huge need for infrastructure projects that would eat into the revenue generated by people coming to the city.

The more I hear about this the more I’m shocked that this death trap was allowed to operate at all! It seems on the level of that bear suit guy, super dyi energy but with no real use case.

Understandable, but I doubt much bullying is happening during class time, where I feel that having cellphones put away would be the most beneficial. Several times I’ve been asked to put my cellphones in pouches that set off alarms when opened during small comedy shows/concerts, I feel that might be an alright solution to in class device lock down. Then when the class is over phone can come out.

In terms of bullying I think that’s more a failure of the education system that these students don’t have someone to turn to, in the faculty, to deal with it. It sucks because I couldn’t imagine what bullying is like now in the digital age. I always felt that teachers and admins never got enough power to deal with severe bullying without blow back from parents.

I’m surprised that this wasn’t something that was already implemented. When I was in highschool in the early 2000’s cellphones would be instantly taken away if they were spotted by a teacher during class.

I don’t understand parents needing constant contact with their children. As a kid I would’ve hated that, helicopter parenting x1000.
