While Kesling took a stand and provided credible sources to support it, it almost seemed to me that he was simply reporting the issue, without expressing his honest, personal opinion on the matter. Porter on the other hand was a former teacher, meaning he had personal experience in the field and could vouch for other teachers who had negative opinions to share about technology, causing their students to veer off a cliff in grade point averages and grades. test scores. Porter also shared what he and other academic professors planned to do to get students back on track, simply without technology at hand. It states that all technology should be left in lockers and kept there during lessons during the day, as device confiscation would be the consequence of student failure to comply. Porter states: “If parents believe it is acceptable for their children to violate established school policies, then schools have no choice in seizing them.” Along with a short and helpful section showing what would happen to children if caught with technology during class time, Porter uses an assertive tone that almost seems as if the school principle is communicating discipline commands to scare students in order to solve the problem more smoothly
