Students in Mountain View High School have been banned from bringing iPods, and other multimedia devices, to school. The school administration says students are downloading formulas and notes onto their devices. Recently, more schools, and even colleges, have started to crackdown on iPods and other devices. However, Duke University issued iPods to their students and saw an increase in learning activity while a decrease in cheating. The issue matters because students can see their freedom of expression through music barred, yet that is the consequence of cheating. But, DU has shown that iPods can be used as a proactive learning device.

Taylor, I agree with your statement. Students do need to have the freedom to atleast listen to music, but it is becoming and issue with students cheating.
I agree that the ban takes away freedoms from the students, butl also students should not use their devices to cheat. Cheating flaws the learning process.
