Banning iPods

Article

I think that banning iPods during school isn't a very clever idea. Students will still try to find a way to cheat either way anyways. Using iPods to cheat is a pretty good idea because it is not obvious and detectable. On the other hand not many students try to cheat using iPods. Some students just prefer to listen to music on them as a past-time during school. Students will find better and less detactable ways to cheat if iPods are taken away and then there will be more cheaters. Music helps in the long run because some students listen to music when they are doing their homework or studying to tune out all the other noises around them so they can concentrate. iPods should not be banned as well but only confiscated before tests or important exams so no one can cheat on the test and then give back to the students after the test is over. That stops the possibility of cheating on iPods.
