Banning Ipods in school

First they would let people wear hats because they were writing answers in the brim, than they wouldnt let us bring cell phones to school anymore because people started texting answers to each other, and now the schools are banning ipods because teens are now using them to cheat also. i believe it is not fair. People who want to cheat are going to find ways to cheat, so i dont no why we have to punish everybody else when its only a few people abusing the privelage. I use my ipod all the time i like to listen to music all the time sometimes it helps "destress" after a big test or on a long bus ride to a game i listen to it to pass the time.
Mike Elgan wrote a piece about schools bannin ipods and he states " by banning ipods we are telling are kids we want them to be like one and learn to just learn and spit out data." i agree with him he also said that with our schools banning all of these technical devices we are showing our teens a world without technology. He believes that we need an ipod just like pen and paper. Kids use them to memorize work and most college students are using them so why not high schoolers? For us teens to make it in this ever changing world we need to learn skills and problem solving. http://www.macworld.com/
