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.
