Parfait.

I still do not understand how this is not the standard in school across the country. I don't care if children kick and scream about this, that is what children do when they do not get their toys and there is absolutely no reason for a child to even own a smartphone.

If they're going to do this, then they better be supplying graphing calculators to students.
Still remember my family not bothering to get me one since we were "tight on funds" (ie, we don't want to sacrifice alcohol and smoke money), and I used an emulator by the name of WabbiteMu in order to follow in my math class.
Not all students use their phones to slack off, and if they can't access the resources they need to succeed on their phone, it damn well should be the case the schools provides those resources for them.
Really Late Edit: People noted I said scientific, which apparently differs from graphing calculators. I meant graphing calculators.

A calculator is a couple of orders of magnitude cheaper than a phone. Single vs triple digits.

You don't need a graphing calculator. I did all my scholarship with a sharp writeview that costs 20$. It does integrals, derivatives, matrices, complex algebra, vector algebra and everything else you could possibly need.

Typical Quebec win.
Probably not. To make it work they will have to push some funding into the school system which they will not. That’s virtue signaling at the provincial government level
I mean, Legault government wants new immigrants to speak French (which is a good thing) but cut the funding for French classes for immigrants (what?)
So I am afraid you are right. They want to look good but won't do jackshit, as always.
