The NSTU says it’ll be up to individual teachers to decide what extra volunteer work they do at schools. Opposition parties also say the McNeil government will pay a political and legal price for imposing a contract, because teachers will challenge the legislation in court.

Cellphone detox
There’s an interesting experiment underway at a Spryfield school….what some are calling cellphone detox.
Teacher Jamie Lynn Quinn began an experiment this week with her grade 8 class telling her students to leave their cellphones at home for the week…and then it spread to the whole school. She said students in class were on their phones constantly…texting, instagramming, snapchatting and she’s put a stop to it, at least temnporarily. She has noticed an increase in anxiety levels in many students. Over ten of the 220 students in the school also saw their phones confiscated because they couldn’t put them down.
