Ipods and MP3 player's in School

I think that students should be able to use their ipods or other music device in school if they want to. I think it should be this way because their are those few kids who actually need the music in the background in order to concentrate. Like me right now. I usually listen to music whenever i do school work but today i left my headphones in school and i know that i am not typing as fast as i normally do just because i am missing that background music. I don't think that the teacher has the right to take away an ipod or any other music device because it may actually be benefiting the student work progress. In my 3rd hour class i do not do anything if i dont have my ipod. I just sit there staring off into space because i personally cannot concentrate very hard without it. There are some exceptions though. The students that are pretty much ignoring the teacher and are paying all their attention to the ipod sitting in front of them do actually deserve to get it taken away from them because it is disrupting the teacher's lesson.

So on a final note. I think that students should be able to use their ipod or mp3 player or any other music device in class as long as they are paying attention in class.
