I think that this is an important issue for every student who likes to listen to their ipods in school. It may actually help some kids on their schoolwork. Some kids use it just to help them concentrate or to just relax after an important test. If the kids who cheat with them want to cheat, then just let them. It will be nobody's loss or fault but theirs. So therefore I disagree with the point of the article. Banning ipods wont change anything. Kids will find a way to cheat.
