Should wi-fi be banned in schools?

Wi-fi 'should be banned in schools' - Telegraph

Extract:

"Wireless internet use in schools should be suspended amid fears million of children may be exposed to a risk of cancer, teachers have said.

Until it can be proved the technology is safe, pupils are being used as "guinea pigs in a large-scale experiment", according to the Professional Association of Teachers (PAT). The comments follow claims – disputed by officials - that "wi-fi" networks give off three times as much radiation as a typical mobile phone mast.

Official guidance already says that masts should not be built near schools because of the possible link to cancer. Now teachers say the same rules should be extended to wi-fi use in the classroom.

Philip Parkin, PAT general secretary, said: "A full scientific inquiry should be commissioned in order to better understand the issues.

"Schools should be discouraged from installing further networks until the results of such an inquiry are known. My real concern is that until there is a full inquiry based on both existing evidence and on newly-commissioned research work, the nation's children are being treated as guinea pigs in a large-scale experiment."
