Using iPods in Class

Who doesn't like music? More importantly, who doesn't like music during class?? Wouldn't you rather be listening to T.I. or Taylor Swift, instead of all the lectures that the teachers go through? Well the key to listening to your iPod or mp3 during class is obviously to not get caught. So what is the best method? There are many different ways to listen to your iPod without getting caught. Here I will list some of the popular ways.
1. The earphones through the sleeve technique-keep iPod in your pocket and run the earphones up through your sweatshirt and into your sleeves, and gently rest your head on your hands and enjoy the music.
2. The light hood technique-Follow the same steps as method 1, but instead of going to the sleeves, go straight up to the ears, and lightly put your hood over your head so the teacher will not see the ear buds, AND the teacher won't yell at you for having your hood up.
3. If you REALLY want to listen to music, you can go and get blue tooth ear buds that will be very hard to see from the teacher.
4. If it's not necessary, then just listen during lectures and most teachers will let you listen to music during work time.

Warnings/Tips:
Get earphones that won't stick out in your hair and clothes.
Don't make it loud enough that others can hear it, and make sure you can hear enough to know what is going on in class.
Make sure you don't have to look down at your iPod every time you need to change the song.
Be ready to turn it down if you are asked a question during class.
Try to pick a time in class when you are not likely to be called on for discussion.
Since you are essentially blocking out your teacher's lessons, don't be too surprised if your grades drop from not knowing what's going on during class.
 Good Luck!
