iPod Banned Due To Cheating

It used to be in school that kids would write test answers on the bottom of their shoes or under a baseball cap’s flap, but now even cheating is taking advantage of technology.
The iPod is a perfect way for kids to cheat - you can simply download answers into a podcast, hide them in song lyrics, record them with a voice recorder and then all you need is to tuck the little white earbud under your collar and play away.
Kids have been using the little music player for a while but as Shana Kemp, spokeswoman for the National Association of Secondary School Principals says sometimes it takes awhile for teachers and administrators, who come from an older generation, to catch on to the various ways the technology can be used. But now that they have, it is likely that iPods will be banned during all tests, something already done with cell phones.
