iCheat: Schools bans portable music players during tests

LR salutes the youth of America for their constant ingenuity. Every time you think you’ve found a way to stop them from high-tech cheating (They’re texting answers!) they come up with a new way to game the system. The latest cheat technique involves recording notes onto your iPod or similar device and then snaking an earbud up behind your shirt or jacket and into one ear so you can listen back during the exam. (“Psst… me… the answer is the train leaving Chicago.”) TV people who use IFBs will appreciate this concept. Schools got wise, so now they are banning iPods in class. (They used to allow them?) LR is confident that this should, once and for all, put an end to cheating in our schools.
