Parent: The city education department is unable to distinguish between annoyances and important problems. For instance, prohibiting students from having cell phones is an overreaction. If a student uses one and thus interferes with instruction, confiscate it. All in all, we need educational leadership that can solve problems, not create them.

Which of the following is an assumption made by the parent?


Students having cell phones does not constitute an important problem for the city schools.

Students have no need for cell phones in school.

Faculty and staff should be allowed to possess cell phones.

Students need to have cell phones because some of them have no stay-at-home parent.

An interest in solving problems is the most important attribute of an educational leader.

plz explain

i think it's A.

Parent assumes that having cell phones in class rooms is not an important problem but just an annoyance. Hence ed dept should not have overreacted.

What's the OA?
