Question

Read the passage.

Students may use cell phones between classes and during the lunch break, as long as they do not create a distraction or cause the student to be tardy for class. During class, cell phones will be secured in lockers or vehicles. Cell phones are not allowed in classrooms, locker rooms, or restrooms. Students may not use cell phones to take or transmit pictures. Cell phone use while on the bus is decided by the bus driver. Students who violate these rules will have their cell phones taken away until the end of the school year.
What might be the reason that the school forbids the use of cell phone cameras?

They create a distraction during lunch break.

They violate student and teacher privacy.

They cause students to be tardy to class.

They are too costly.

Answer 1

Answer:
b. they violate student and teacher privacy.

Step-by-step explanation:
To determine which option is correct, we should go through each option one by one. Based on my explanation, I show that option two is the best option.

• Option One - “They create a distraction during lunch break.”
Even if cell phones cameras may cause a distraction during lunch break, I’m sure this is not the sole purpose. Cameras on cell phones can cause a distraction during any time during school and beyond.

• Option 2 - “They violate student and teacher privacy.”
This option seems legitimate. As the student may use the camera to take an image of the teacher or other students without the consent person’s consent and send or post said picture, again without the parents’ consent.

• Option 3 - “They cause students to be tardy to class.”
Banning the use of a cell phone camera will certainly not stop students from being tardy. Students are tardy for a large number of reasons and I’m afraid the cell phone camera is not even on the top 15 tardy reasons lists.

• Option 4 - “They are too costly.”
Even if ones camera was to break, I’m sure it would be declared anyone besides the schools responsibility to fix it, unless it is broken by a teacher or worker.
