Credible Sources

Question

Students today have access to all sorts of technology: iPads, laptops, cell phones, and many other devices.

The access students have to technology at school should be more severely limited in order to lessen cheating offenses.

Some schools allow students to wear and use ear buds outside of the classroom and in the school hallways.
