Why don't schools allow kids to listen to their ipod at recess?

Question

at my middle school, the administration doesn't allow you to listen to your ipod or mp3 at break or lunch. i understand why they don't allow kids to listen to it during class, but i think you should be allowed to listen to it when it's not classtime. what do you think? thanks.

Answer 1

i dont have recess im in hs

Answer 2

maybe they're afraid of it being stolen, it causing fights (with people taking other people's), that students won't be able to hear/follow directions with music too loud, or that they'll be listening to inappropriate stuff.  

not sure...

Answer 3

Some school's don't like kid's bringing expensive electronics period. This is because they don't want to deal with the consequences in case something goes missing. In all honesty, your old enough to have the choice. It's your device and you should be allowed to use it when you want to as long as it doesnt bother anyone else.

Answer 4
