Bye, Bye Ipods

Who & What?
Many school principals, superintendents, and teacher suspect that ipods are now the new way in many high school to cheat on tests, quizzes, etc.

When & Where?
During school, students sneak their ipods during tests or quizzes to either look up or listen to answers.

Why?
Since phones have been banned, students now use their ipods to help on tests to look up answers so they can make better grades.

Agree or Disagree?
Although I do wish ipods would continue being allowed in schools, I do see a reason for them being ban. I agree because it's not right for students to have ipods in class because it does provide a way of cheating and even though students may want to listen to music after they are done with work and tests, they can do more productive things, like read or finish other work. However, I think ipods should be allowed before school, during lunch or free periods, and after school.

  1. No offense, but I disagree. I think that iPods are very positive in schools. I learn a lot better in chemistry when I can listen to my iPod. I think that iPods should be allowed.
