The technologically challenged

I weep sometimes over the quality of education offered to the children of this fair city. The adults in charge of the organization are a wonderful case in point.

In an effort to keep up with technology, the Toronto District School Board is now allowing children to keep cellphones on hand - for security... and have prohibited any and all electronic photographic devices.

Go ahead. Try, just TRY to get a cellphone without a camera. I went for a bottom-of-the-line Samsung. It has a camera.

The Board, in its infinite wisdom, sent said missive to every teacher in the TDSB's school e-mail system. Which meant that much hilarity ensued in the staff lounges across the city.

I have a cellphone without a camera >_>

Why would they ban cameras?
