Ya, not a good idea in my opinion. I took mine to school and it got stolen.
# 2 Re: Ipod For School.
I have no problem bringing it to school. I need it for work after school and at random times in the day can use it without having it confiscated. So far it (Nano 2nd Gen) has lasted nearly a year safely. Though I do live in a richer area where almost everyone has an iPod and/or another mp3 player so no one really needs to steal one.
However, though I might leave my backpack alone for a minute or two occasionally, I would never ever leave my iPod alone in the backpack as that could be dangerous, at least in some classes.

I take mine everyday. Always stays in my pocket unless I take it out to listen to music.

IMO, taking your iPod to school is an iffy topic. it really depends on where it will be and where you go to school. If you keep your iPod in with you all day in your pocket, you run a low risk of getting it lost or stolen. However, depending on what your school is like, even if you keep it with you at all times, you could be robbed. If you cannot keep it with you at all times, you run a much higher risk of getting it stolen, especially if you leave it in an unsecure area, such as your backback in the locker room during gym; someone could rummage through your bag, find your iPod and you would never see it again. Also, some schools have very strict rules against iPods; if you are caught with one in school, you could get it confiscated, get a detention, or even get suspended. I take my iPod to school everyday, and I keep it with me at all times. I don't have any problems. So consider all of this before you take your iPod with you.

I always take my MP3player with me to school. Tbh i'm far more concerned for the thing to break than being stolen.
Just be carefull where you put it and you should be fine imho. But that depends on the school i guess.

I take mine to school everyday. If I'm not using it I'll put it in my pocket, never in my backpack/locker or anywhere else. It just really bothers me when people as me everyday if they can use my ipod. Literally, everyday.
# 7 Re: Ipod For School.
the answer is obvious...
take your ipod to school...
i mean you spend 150-200 dollars on a product and not use it to its full potential just because you are AFRAID of other people trying to steal it..
i think that shows you have a very little confidence in yourself..
i mean if you were sure that you were responsible enough to take care of your gadget..this wouldn't be even a question..
i suggest you get more responsible before you go out buy expensive gadgets.

I take my iPod to school all the time... no worries really, everyone has a zune or an iPod...
I keep mine in my pocket *duh*, never in my backpack or locker, that'd just be pointless..

i used to leave my zune in my locker, but when i get my itouch, im gonna leave it in my pocket, so i can be a showoff, or show people how it works, also so there is no chance of it getting stolen.

My school has a similar rule. all teachers are supposed to confiscate iPods or Cell phones or other electronics if used during class. However a good number of teachers are lax on the rule. especially in higher level classes such as AP (Advanced Placement, college level) Classes and in study halls. I cane asily find an hour or two in school a day where I can use my Nano.
# 12 Re: Ipod For School.
I used to, until yesterday. I got yelled at. I will take it when I have fully recovered from a recent injury.
# 13 Re: Ipod For School.
If you're going to bring an iPod to school, better take good care of it and never leave it behind.
# 14 Re: Ipod For School.
Almost every person in my school has an ipod. I take it on the bus and thats it. I don't take it out of my backpack when I'm inside my school because I have almost lost my ipod about 3 times.
# 15 Re: Ipod For School.
When in school does anyone have time to listen to an mp3 player? Its not neccessary.. leave the ish at home so you wont get it stolen!
# 16 Re: Ipod For School.
I listen to my iPod for at least 20 minutes a day in school and need it for work right after school as well so it is a must to bring it to school. Besides almost all students in my school have some sort of mp3 player in school anyway so the risk of theft is slim.
# 17 Re: Ipod For School.
you got a damn wierd school if your afraid of being robbed of an ipod thats in your pocket
# 18 Re: Ipod For School.
why would you take your 150+ ipod to school and leave it in your...BACKPACK?
thats such a stupid idea. if its new, and most are after sep. 5th, people want new things to and will try to steal it.
there is such an invention called a...pocket! (el gaspo!)
