Téléphone Cellulaire—Non!
Recently France banned cell phone use in its primary schools based on the “cautionary principle” that the long-term health effects of being exposed to the EM fields from cell phones from childhood on is still an unknown. At present cell phone use is allowed on school grounds but not in classrooms. Under the new regulations, their use in primary schools is simply banned. French … [Read more...]
