BC parents told schools will not follow Ontario's lead to ban cellphones in the classrooms

The BC Minister of Education,  Rob Fleming has a moral and legal obligation, after being notified that cell phones exceed the safety limits up to 5 times the guidelines, to “act in good faith,” by taking measures to mitigate the risk of harm to our children while under his care in the classrooms.

As for the three Samsung phones, SAR levels soared with a Galaxy S8 measurement more than 5 times the regulatory limit (8.22 W/kg), measurement taken at a distance of 2 mm from the skin.  For the Motorola e5 Play, the SAR is just as high, exceeding the regulatory limit by four times.
