  • Q2
    Read the following paragraph from the article. Matthew Post is the student member of Takoma Park Middle School's school board. Matthew said that he backs a school-by-school approach but that phone privileges at lunch would give students the chance to learn about responsible use and get ready for the world beyond middle school. As he has visited schools, he said, he has found the lunches where phones are allowed no less social. "There was the same chatter and bustle that I saw in every middle-school lunch," he said. Why did the author include this paragraph?

    to explain why cellphones help make students more responsible
    to describe how decisions are made at Takoma Park Middle School
    to prove that all schools should allow students to carry cellphones
