At Olympian High School, or any other school you go to, theres probably a rule of having no ipods out during school hours. Coming from a student, I feel ipods can help get work done. For example, when work is given out, students could be listening to their music and getting their work done, instead of talking to peers around them and getting no work done. Also while running in p.e. It could distract a students mind that they're tired and they could possibly make the time.
