ipod cheating

I was just browsing yahoo news. I came upon this article about ipods and how people are cheating on tests with their ipods. Students used baseball caps to write answers on the tip of the cap. When those were banned, they used their cell phones to test people for answers. Now they are using ipods and downloading recorded media players of the information they need to pass the test. Schools accross the nation are now banning ipods because of this. Here is the link to this article:

I didnt even know people would do something like this. I wouldn't of even think of cheating like that, well let alone cheat on tests. I thought people listen to ipods to concitrate on tests and when getting bored in class after getting work down, listen to them. I guess not. Wow this is really cool to read about how people cheat.

That is really weird, I never thought of that.

I never realized that either. I guess it's all about integrity. People will always find a way to cheat, but as corny as it sounds, they really are only cheating themselves.

Wow...that is pretty low! I never thought that people would do that...it makes me sad that some people in our society go so low as to use a good thing and turn it into a bad thing. :(
