iPods, a Cheater’s Best Friend
Kids… stopping at nothing to find the easy way out. When I was in high school, the clever way to cheat was to write the answers on your hands. I guess an iPod stores a whole lot more information…but unlike an iPod, they’re a whole lot harder to confiscate on your way into the classroom. ;-)
Banning baseball caps during tests was obvious — students were writing the answers under the brim. Then, schools started banning cell phones, realizing students could text message the answers to each other.
Now, schools across the country are targeting digital media players as a potential cheating device. Devices including iPods and Zunes can be hidden under clothing, with just an earbud and a wire snaking behind an ear and into a shirt collar to give them away, school officials say.
"It doesn’t take long to get out of the loop with teenagers," said Mountain View High School Principal Aaron Maybon. "They come up with new and creative ways to cheat pretty fast."
