Question

as you continue to read the article, you notice that it includes different viewpoints of educators, specifically the following quotes. \in becky dieffenbachs opinion, bringing their own devices just becomes a source of distraction for some learners because no matter how many times you repeat the rule that they can only be on technology when an educator says its ok, they choose to ignore the rule and then disciplinary actions have to be enforced.\ \we need to stop pushing against the technology and start embracing it,\ says amber schaefer, an elementary school educator in minnesota. \the more we push back, the more we separate ourselves from learners. it is time to incorporate and collaborate instead of ban and punish.\ why do you think the author included differing viewpoints for the usage of cell phones in an educational setting? the author wants to show that learners need more disciplinary measures if they choose to break the cell phone rules. the author wants to show the reader that all educators are aligned and want to ban cell phones from all educational settings. the author wants to show the reader that this issue is complex, even among educators, and there may not be a simple solution. the author wants to show that banning cell phones is impossible within an educational setting.

Explanation:

The article presents two opposing viewpoints from educators. Becky Dieffenbach sees personal devices as a distraction and mentions disciplinary actions. Amber Schaefer advocates embracing technology instead of banning it. By including these differing opinions, the author shows that the issue of cell phone use in education is not straightforward. Educators themselves have contrasting ideas, indicating complexity. This rules out options that suggest a single - sided view (like all educators wanting to ban phones or that banning is impossible). Also, the focus is on the complexity of the issue, not just on disciplinary measures for rule - breakers.

Answer:

The author wants to show the reader that this issue is complex, even among educators, and there may not be a simple solution.
