“情況相當混亂”：電子煙和故意破壞行為繼續影響著該地區的高中生和工作人員
Reta Ismail 多技能記者 2024 年 4 月 16 日
這個問題影響了泰晤士河穀地區學校董事會 (TVDSB) 和倫敦地區天主教學校委員會 (LDCSB) 的當地高中。
“這真是一團糟，我什至不想撒謊……洗手間總是關閉，因為人們吸電子煙、吸大麻、吸毒等，”沮喪的十一年級學生亞當·穆斯塔法(Adam Moustafa)說。
他並不孤單。
“太糟糕了，聞起來很糟糕，你到處都可以看到這些豆莢，有一次是廁所，你無法衝掉它，因為裏麵有太多豆莢裏的東西，”另一位十一年級學生艾登·薩克利夫補充道。
在洗手間內吸電子煙已成為該地區高中的常見現象。
周二上午，數十名學生在 Fredrick Banting 爵士中學外接受倫敦 CTV 新聞采訪時，穆斯塔法和薩克利夫等學生抱怨高中內洗手間的現狀。
兩個學校董事會都清楚並正在努力解決這個問題。
“我們加強了監督，正在考慮其他措施，例如安裝電子煙探測器等。我們將繼續與家長和學生合作，努力真正鼓勵他們在學校周圍做出積極的行為，”校長丹尼斯·賴特 (Dennis Wright) 解釋道。 與 TVDSB 共同致力於安全學校和心理健康。
據報道，有幾起學校工作人員出於健康和安全考慮而被迫關閉洗手間的情況。 然而，兩個委員會都表示，學生在任何時候都沒有被禁止使用洗手間的情況。
他說：“我們確實有一個具體的例子，我們的設施發生緊急情況，我們在 10 分鍾內就讓卡車帶著移動便盆停了下來，這樣我們就可以提供這些東西。”
賴特補充說，一些學校增加了學校支持委員，在走廊、自助餐廳和停車場與學生互動，鼓勵良好行為並尊重學校財產。
但這不僅僅是電子煙的問題，對洗手間設施的破壞也越來越多，包括損壞門、廁所、水槽以及從牆上扯下皂液器。
LDCSB 教育助理總監羅伯塔·吉布森 (Roberta Gibson) 表示：“幾年前，這一點變得非常引人注目。如果你還記得，當 TikTok 挑戰發生並鼓勵破壞行為時。”
這項被稱為“狡猾的舔”的挑戰在社交媒體上廣受歡迎，這種趨勢涉及學生發布視頻，顯示他們偷竊或損壞了從學校（最常見的是從他們的洗手間）拿走的物品。
“我們樓下的女生洗手間仍然沒有皂液器，”十一年級學生哈拉·阿爾祖雷吉 (Hala Alzureigi) 說，她補充說，學校不得不拆除一些洗手間的門，以便能夠監控這些行為。
“我認為這是一個持續的挑戰，隨著學生們在生活中的這些部分的努力，這一挑戰將繼續存在。 所以我認為，你知道，尤其是在電子煙如此普遍的情況下，持續監測和持續幹預，並與我們的學生合作，了解電子煙的危險，可以幫助……減少它，”吉布森解釋道。
'It’s pretty messed up': Vaping and vandalism continue to impact high school students and staff across the region
By Reta Ismail Multi-Skilled Journalist April 16, 2024
It’s an issue affecting local high schools across both the Thames Valley District School Board (TVDSB) and the London District Catholic School Board (LDCSB).
"It's pretty messed up, I’m not even going to lie…the washrooms are always closed because of people vaping, smoking weed, doing drugs etc.,” said frustrated eleventh grader Adam Moustafa.
And he’s not alone.
“It's awful, one it smells awful, you see these pods everywhere, one time the toilet, you couldn't flush it because there was so many pod things in there,” added another eleventh grader, Aiden Sutcliffe.
Vaping inside washrooms has become a common scene within high schools across the region.
Moustafa and Sutcliffe are among dozens of students who spoke with CTV News London outside Sir Fredrick Banting Secondary School Tuesday morning, complaining about the current state of the washrooms inside their high school.
It’s an issue that both school boards are well aware of and are working to address.
"We've increased supervision, we're looking at alternate measures such as installing vape detectors, etc. We continue to work with parents and students to try really encourage them to engage in positive behaviours around the school,” explained Dennis Wright, superintendent of safe schools and mental health with the TVDSB.
There have been several reported instances where school staff have been forced to close washrooms due to health and safety concerns. However, both boards said at no point have students been left with no washroom access.
"We do have one specific example where we had a facilities emergency and within 10 minutes we had trucks pull in with porta potties just so we could provide that,” he said.
Wright adds that school support councillors have been added in some schools to engage with students in hallways, cafeterias and parking lots to encourage good behaviour and respect school property.
But it’s not just the vaping, there’s also been increased vandalism to washroom facilities, including damaging doors, toilets, sinks and ripping out soap dispensers from the wall.
"It became really noticeable a few years ago. If you remember, when the TikTok challenge happening [and encouraging] the vandalism,” said Roberta Gibson, assistant superintendent of education with LDCSB.
That challenge, dubbed the “devious lick” gained popularity on social media — a trend which involved students posting videos that show them stealing or damaging items taken from their school, most often, from their washrooms.
"We still don't have a soap dispensers in the girls’ washroom downstairs,” said eleventh grader Hala Alzureigi, who adds the school had to remove the doors to some of the washrooms to be able to monitor the behaviour.
“I think it's an ongoing challenge that will continue to be, as students work through those parts of their lives. So I think that, you know, especially with the vaping being so prevalent, with continued monitoring and continued interventions and working with our students to understand the dangers of vaping can help...diminish it,” explained Gibson.
安省高中生吹哨：他們鎖在廁所裏抽大麻 吸毒！學校到底管不管
這是一個發生在安省倫敦市Thames Valley District School Board（TVDSB）和London District Catholic School Board（LDCSB）當地高中的問題。或許，這也是正在安省所有高中正在發生的問題。
11年級的學生Adam Moustafa非常沮喪，他說：“一切都太混亂了，我不想撒謊去掩飾······洗手間總是關閉，因為有人在裏麵吸電子煙、抽大麻、吸毒等。”
他並不是唯一一個抱怨這種事情的學生。
另一名11年級學生Aiden Sutcliffe補充說：“太糟糕了，一是聞起來很難聞，到處都是電子煙的pod。有一次，廁所裏有很多，你衝洗不掉。”
在衛生間裏吸電子煙已經成為該地區高中的普遍現象。
周二上午，Moustafa和Sutcliffe等數十名學生，在Sir Fredrick Banting Secondary School外接受了倫敦CTV新聞的采訪，抱怨學校洗手間的現狀。
這是兩個學校董事會都很清楚並正在努力解決的問題。
TVDSB安全學校和心理健康主管Dennis Wright解釋說：“我們已經加強了監管，我們正在考慮安裝電子煙探測器等替代措施。我們繼續與家長和學生合作，真正鼓勵他們在學校周圍做出正確的行為。”
據了解，學校工作人員出於健康和安全考慮，被迫關閉洗手間。然而，兩個委員會都表示，從來沒有讓學生無法上廁所。
他說：“我們確實有一個例外的事情，我們遇到了設施緊急情況，在10分鍾內，我們就有卡車開過來，上麵裝著移動廁所，這樣就可以提供這些廁所。”
Wright補充說，一些學校已經增加了學校支持委員，在走廊、食堂和停車場與學生互動，鼓勵良好行為和維護學校財產。
但不僅僅是電子煙，對洗手間設施的破壞也越來越多，包括損壞門、馬桶、水槽和從牆上扯下消毒液機。
LDCSB的助理教育總監Roberta Gibson說：“幾年前開始這種事情變得非常明顯。如果你還記得，當TikTok挑戰發生(並鼓勵)破壞行為時。”
這一挑戰被稱為“devious lick”，在社交媒體上很受歡迎，學生們上傳視頻，展示他們從學校偷東西或損壞東西，最常見的是從洗手間偷東西。
11年級學生Hala Alzureigi說：“我們樓下的女洗手間仍然沒有消毒液機。”她補充說，學校不得不拆除了一些洗手間的門，以便能夠監控這種行為。
Gibson說：“我認為這是一個持續的挑戰，將繼續存在。所以我認為，尤其是在電子煙如此普遍的情況下，通過持續的監測和持續的幹預，以及與我們的學生一起了解電子煙的危害，可以幫助······減少它。”
