:. Banning iPods

Schools across America are banning media players in hopes to prevent cheating. Mountain View employed that band after officials realized formulas were being downloaded on to Ipods by students. Banning of items to prevent cheating is not foreign territory for schools but as technology advances, it has become increasingly harder for achaic officials to keep up. This artical calls into question major dilemma in the molding of young minds: whether rules and restrictions guide teens away from bad choices or if simply teaching them integrity gives them the tools needed to make good ones.

My opinion about this ban of iPods is that they should just be used during school at the appropriate times. During test or while a teacher is talking a student should not be using the media device. If a student is doing his or her homework or a project during class or if nothing is going on at that time, the student should be allowed to listen to his or her iPod. Therefore, iPods should only be in use during school in moderation, not completely banned.
