iPods to school?

I think that it was a mistake to tell people that i had one, they might have told the people at my school who take an intrest on pawning precious mp3 players off.. lol maybe ill start taking it to school, when i get a bit older...

Do you have a lock on your backpack for all your expensive stuff? cause i might consider it if my pack was locked.

Im not in high school, im in Jr high.
I was thinking a combo lock, one without a key.

I'm in the UK and take mine to school everyday, it's been fine. Im in 6th form (thats the year/grade before university) i take it on the walk to school, it keeps my occupied and my teachers are pretty relaxed about me using it in class if i'm just getting on with my work. There are some kids in the school who wouldn't say no to it if it (my ipod) was all alone but i just keep it in my pocket or in my rucksack and don't let it out of my sight. I've got it insured as well just to be sure but still don't want it stolen.

I used to take my old one to school. It was pretty safe. But i never took my mini.

Taking a iPod to school can be a risky business![P]I myself have been in the situation of bringing a iPod to school. I wanted to not only listen to the music on the bus, but show it to all my mates that not able to see it out of school hours. In the end I was finally persuaded by my mother against the idea. For example a lot of people will want to have have one. They are soo small, that they are the perfect item to steal. I would advise you not to take it to school

Sypher's got the idea...why have an extremely portable devide that you payed a lot for, and keep it at home? I'm in grade 10, and my ipod is almost always with me in my pocket. Whenever I have PE class, I just hide it in my locker, besides I don't show off my ipod, so only my close friends know I have one so far(just got it a week or so ago). I'm not scared to bring it to school because I can adequately defend myself if someone were to try and beat me up for it...I weightlift and I'd say I'm stronger then most people in my grade.

You're a loser. Go to the gym with ur ipod, lift some weights, put on some muscle, and take your ipod to school.

same robrobdoe, or i will be when i get one, and yes shemer, good idea, you just keep it with you and unless your real unlucky, not much is gunna happen, depending on your area...

I'm glad I don't go to your schools
Haha exactly what I was thinking.. why be so afraid to take your (very portable) iPod with you?

^ Why do you have to leave your iPod there during the day? Just keep it in your pocket.

I bring mine to school with me everyday. I just keep it in my pocket all day and when I have PE i just put it in my bag and lock the locker. Like someone else said, I am one of the stronger kids on my bus that is mostly filled with younger kids anyway, so im not really worring about someone stealing it.

i take mine to school with me WHICH IS WHY I GOT IT!!!:p
I actually carry it in a sock:D because i'm waiting for my case to arrive.
One of the first things that i did was swap the headphones on my cd player for the earbuds. One because my headphones have better base response and two, so no one will ever know that i have a 'Pod:D. The stock earbuds are still sitting in the box, unopened:D

i dunno guys taking your precious iPod to school is risky so i'd keep it in my pocket at all times and listen to it on the bus, or the walk home. Avoiding showing it to anybody and have them take it and run.

yea, take it everyday to school, (im in year 13 last year of school), but before the ipod, i used to take my MD as well (2 years ago), my school is fairly small, so there arent really many big brutes (my school by the way is the one where bekham's kids goes to (well often they jus dont come, and where bekam's affair chick veronica loose studied) but yea, theres no problem, what concerned me most was gettin nicked on the journey back home (1.5hours!!! so music is NECESSARY!) during the journey home i just kept it in my pocket, im not really afraid of gettin it stolen, but i do act smartly, its best to use ur ipod accordinly to the situation, e.g if ure walkin down the streer, and u see a group of thugs, its best not to take the ipod out at that moment! (and best not to look nervous or scared)- Remember, if u ever get confronted, fight back verbally, make noise, the more attention u create the more the villans will back off, if anything.. just run away to anyplace public ;)

I've had my iPod for nearly a year and take it with me whenever I can (remember). Usually just if I'm walking back from my house for lunch I'll take it and listen to it in the afternoon. I'd like to think at the age of 16, I'm responsible for my possessions, and it rarely leaves my pocket/sight anyway.
If you're too paranoid about losing it then you won't enjoy it half as much.

btw, locks attract more attention to your property than actual protection they provide to it.
Unless you're talking about a big fist sized lock, which I doubt you are.

Actually if you really think about, keeping you iPod in your pocket isn't all that much safer if your scared for it's safety, because i don't know about you but beeing in high school and even when i was in grade school i know me and my friends liked to horse around. So what if you're carring you pod and one of your friends doesn't know you have it on you and pushes you or kind of jumps on you back and you fall and it breaks

Uhm...
I've got a little problem. On Sunday, our class is going to a "school trip" for a week.

I've got my iPod last week...so, now i'm very careful with it.

I'm sleeping in a room with 5 persons 4 well known, the other, hmm, I know him, but only a bit...the other time of the week we are travelling around with the whole class...on evening, we're going to a small lake (<- the lake makes me nervous...) and then back to the hotel...

But that's not the problem. I'm feared that in the night someone could come and steal it (oh my god, i'm paranoid :D)...

Some classmates know that I've an iPod, but I don't trust them...I also don't know them very well...

And there are some other pupils in this hotel...

Oh my god, please help me to decide if I shall take him with me...

(sorry for my bad english...)

I wouldn't take it, the battery only lasts about 10 hours or less on one charge, I think.
That wouldn't last me half a week, even if I was using it sparingly.

Yeah, you're right, it's not an amish hotel :)

Then I'll take it with me...

But should I trust the teachers? ;)

(Maybe I also take a lock with me...for the suitcase or my backpack...I've some other valuables there too...

Or you could buy a small lockbox, they don't cost that much, or use the safe in the room if they have one depending up the hotel

During this past year I took my Dell Axim X5 to school every day, as well as on many school outings, band trips, etc. I never had a problem with theft or damage, even though the Dell would sometimes literally get passed around the classroom for everyone to play with.

When school starts this fall I'll have no reservations about bringing my iPod, even though I'll probably only use it as a portable hard drive for moving large Final Cut Pro projects around.

I've found that you get far more enjoyment out of electronic devices if you're not afraid to use them and take them everywhere. When you consider that gadgets such as PDAs and iPods have limited practical lifespans thanks to obsolescence and the finite lives of expensive rechargeable batteries it makes sense to get as much use out of them as you can, while you can.

no problem

Right. I've taken my iPod to school for 182 straight school days. It was always in my pocket. Every time I would leave class I would always feel my pockets to see if everything was there. Yeah, I know I am really paranoid about my iPod, but it's like my essential everyday utility. I have never had anyone try to steal it. I try to limit the people who know I have it. Even in gym class when I folded my pants with my iPod in it . . . I locked it up in my locker. I was always the first one in the locker room so when everyone came in I was all ready to go. On the bus it's no big problem, I have only got a couple of responses. I just hate when people bug you when you are listening to music, but whatever. It really attracts girls if you whip it out though. :D I have it raped in my xSkn case which is also in a MacClear case so it was always protected in my pockets.

I am in yr 12(highst yr level) in Aus, I take mine to school and am not worried. This might be that the school is rather large and therefor have a large number of friends. I know that if anyone take my iPod the stealling #### wont be walking for much longer. One of my best friends takes his 2 school aswell and thinks the same thing

I'm never going to bring mine to school -- once it gets here -- because the people in my school are a bunch of poor thugs and I trust none of them. (I live in Nowhere, Fla. quite literally, so I've never spotted any signs of iPods in my school) It might be overprotective or uptight or something but I'm paying for it myself, so... *shrugs*

I'm like the only person with it. Some people are getting them soon though.

I'll be bringing mine to school this coming year. Since I'm in high school and they allow you to bring your backpack where ever you go, I can just keep it in there and make sure it's always in sight. I'll most likely be locking my backpack with a simple lock just to further deter potential thieves.

lepierre wat did u mean?
anybody stole him ? :S

Yeah, I take mine, and one time a kid did take it. I turned around hooked his foot and pushed. It sent him face first into the cement. I was mad :P

I take mine to school but it never leaves my pocket NEVER and nobody that i dont know very well holds it NEVER and when they do they never go anywhere NEVER keep it close to you like ur wallet watch or epi pen NEVER LET IT NOT BE INCONTACE WITH UR POCET OR EYESITE

The problem with an iPod (well, problem...) is that when you've got the earplugs in, almost everyone knows you've got an iPod. When I was in the train last week, I heard a few bussinessmen saying 'wow, everyone has an iPod in these days!'. So even if you keep it in your pocket out of sight, most people will know you have one when you've got the earplugs in.

But hey, I take my iPod to school anyway :)

Yes, damn those distinguishable earphones!

I take mine to school all the time. But I don't listen to it that much, only in my free periods.

Way to nail the kid that stole it. That's my favorite story thus far. I'll be taking mine everyday. On tests, on the way, with an iTrip when my chemistry teacher (I'll be taking AP, which means I have the same one,) turns on the radio to make us feel peaceful. That'll be great. I'll certainly use it about 6 hours a day. All 15 sweet gigs. And I'll have to stop taking naps during class, so kids don't take the opportunity to steal my iPod. Jerks. I like napping. I'll be buying some Grado Labs. A: because the sound they give beats ANYTHING I've ever heard and B: They could just go to a cd player, not a $300 iPod. Also, I'll be putting the earbuds with my cd player. That way, people try to steal that, and I'll hunt them with a compound bow. Because cd player thieves should be hunted with a compound bow.

I'll be taking mine, but with some black headphones and it in my inside zipped pocket of my jacket.

never ever ever..its my baby

lol, Shemer got the right idea. I know violence doesnt solve anything, but I wouldnt hesitate to hurt the guy who is trying to take something so expensive of me. Whatever happens, happens, but if it was stolen from me, what my parents would do to me would be worse than anything some punk could do ;).
Anyway, I dont exactly like the idea of taking my ipod to school only to risk it being stolen, but it is a PORTABLE player...
The thing is, alot of people may think that if it is out of sight you would be ok, but around my school, ive known people to lose expensive phones (like the sonyericsson P900, samsung e700 etc) because they have been searched by a group of #######s. Knowing the people that I do, my 'pod will probably be safe but i still dont want to risk it.

But remember. In Soviet Russia the iPOD steals you.

I would dump it inside my sling bag and clip the remote on the bag strap .. :p

I listen to mine on the way to school, listen to it during my breaks and lunch, listen to it during some classes (the best part is the teacher doesn`t mind :cool: ), and on the way home from school. Usually by the end of the day, I have used up most of a full-charged battery (my school ends late). I have no problems with everyone knowing I have it, as no one in my school would ever steal something from somebody else except maybe for food (no, it`s not a school for the mentally ill...).

Since its summer. I cant take it to skewl since i dont go to skewl. But i use to. when I went to skewl.

I bike to school, and the town is very small so I don`t have to listen for traffic or anything. It`s nice listening to the iPod in the morning.

I used to use mine quite a bit in college. Good way to kill time between classes.

I always take mine to school. I see a few white buds around campus from time to time, and I actually share it with some of my best friends. The only time I'll leave the 'Pod in my locker (perks of being a music major, you get a locker in college) is when it's time for marching band. I've never had a problem taking Eleanor on campus.

God, that was a horrible /. flashback... kill me now!!

I bring mine to school and actually leave it in my locker in my backpack...

acm0720- might be smaller then the rest of the people he goes to school with. what about when all of you that take the short bus to school get off the bus? Then what do you do if the kid that wants to take it from you is bigger and stronger then you? You are gonna get hurt and lose your ipod.

acm0720 - use good judgement and if you don't feel comfortable taking your ipod to school, then don't.

Well last year before i had my iPod i took my net md walkmen to school all the time let the girls lisin to it and i didn't really care i left it in my locker and took it out to lisin to on the bus.But now seening as my iPod was double the price of my md im not takin it to school for 2 reasons one which was already mentiond and 2 because in my new school they don't have lockers and i'd have to keep it in my backpack which isn't very hard to gain acces too.

besides, i took this class already last year. just doing 2nd semester of it. so its all review to me. just sit there listen to music.

Wow, your teacher really sucks! When I went to summer school in Middle & High school, the teachers were always encouraging; they wanted to see us get the Hell out of there and be successful so we wouldn't have to do the same classes again.
Alas, fo course, that came at the expense of no personal audio... i.e. no CD players in my time, no iPods these days. Hey, at least I never had to take whatever math I was on again!!

Yeah im thinking if i take it to school im just gonna keep it in my pocket all day.That would mean i'd have to use the craptacular iPod buds instead of my sony headphones.

Four things I cary with me when ever I go to class is my wallet, keys, my plam, and my iPod. My iPod is never out of my sight. But to my surprise I see a lot of people walk around campus with iPods as well.

Don't you have free/study periods Snowy? Or are you in year 11?

At my school we do. It's actually more easier to concentrate with it on, then listen to the sounds of people talking in the common room.

I only take mine with me, when I'm forced to go to school by bus, because my dad needs my car. If i'm using the car I got my burned album of the week and so there's no need to take the iPod with me. If I'm going by bus I take the iPod, it makes the long ride a lot more comfortable, without all this noise around you.

wtf? My high school has, like, no security measures whatsoever. No dresscode, no uniforms, no nothing. People just do whatever they want.

Are you talking about private schools?

I take my ipod mini to school, i may not do it so much though anymore, my science teacher caught me with my ipod on, she snapped it out of my hands and nearly threw it across the room, bloody ##### (thats b l o o d y b i t c h, just incase it blanks it out). and so yeah, not a very happy experience that, i hate her, but you know, i got it back and all is well for my little ipod:Dits so cool!! i wish aussie schools were like american ones, no uniform, teachers are fairly laid back, not here though, so frustrating, tuck in ur friggen shirt!! its so annoying but yeha hehe,

dev

I'm an Aussie too by the way and we have the same strict dress code rules at my high school in NSW... not that many of us adhere to the rules when there's no teacher present ;p

Anyways... I take my iPod mini to school every day and listen on the bus, and depending on what class I have during the day I can get away with listening to it in class. If it's a teacher who I can't get away with listening, then I can usually still play Solitaire or something if I keep it hidden well enough :D

i couldnt go a day in skool wthout my iPod, it has so many uses:
On the bus
In classes
Recess
Detention!
In Between classes
I couldnt live in skool w/o music

i take mine to school,,, it never laves my pocket and its great.

Thy Doth Speaketh the truth Muzakman, I am actually very glad I got my first real music player AFTER high school (I'm in the states. :( [the frown is thanks to the current president.] I know that when I brought my brother's cd player security would always tell me to put it away etc. At my university they don't give a damn although I do usually turn it off whenever the proffessor (Did I spell that last word right?) starts talking out of respect for him or her. And unlike some people I actually lower my music if I happen to be listening to it during a lecture. I just wish high school had been more like this.

Ive brought my ipod to school for about a month and nothing has happened to it....yet....

I walk home from school every day for 20 minutes to half an hour; I wouldn't last w/out my ipod. My school is [i]supposedly[/y] full of hard, tough guys; huge black guys (might sound like a racist remark but it's not) but really as long as you respect people, they ussually respect you back. I walk around with my iPod $400, my TI 83+ silver $130, and my jump drive $30 and have for more than a year and nothing has happened. Most people are too stupid to even know what an iPod or a graphing calculator is.

The worst i've gotten is "hey, uh, isn't that the thing from the fitty-cent video?" (really annoying)

if it werent for that, people wouldnt know what it was, the other half think its a cell phone... morons.

Actually I have seen cellphones (more like a smart phone) large enough to be mistaken for things other than a phone. I would think its a pda if I didn't have any clue what an Ipod looked like personally. (assuming I wasn't up close.)

Sure, I'll bring mine to school but like other posters said, not advertising it as an iPod. I get enough attention carrying around my Sony CLIE NX73 PDA with the bright color screen and its camera. I'll probably invest in a spare firewire/USB cable to keep in my locker so I can use my iPod as an external HD instead of my jumpdrive.
Several people in my school own iPods so everybody happens to know what they are.

I take my MD evrywhere with me, it doesnt leave me pocket...i want a Ipod bad tho..

m4v3ric your sig is waaaaaaaay too big.
The limit is 300x50 pixels and 5kb
yours is 400x150 pixels and over 50kb!
Can you or the mods please get rid of it?

I used to carry my iPod on the bus when I rode the bus anyways. No one has ever tried to steal it. They wouldn't dare. :p

When I go back to school in September, I dont know wheather to take my iPod mini.

I have to catch the bus to and from school, its like a half hour ride.

I'm ognna really hate not having my music, but I DONT want my iPod to get stolen or broken.

My mom said that I can take her cheapish CD walkman (she doesnt ever use it). It's nice of her to offer, and I think I will probably take that.

If I really want to take my own playlist, I could always make the playlist on iTunes, then burn it onto CD. Thats the beauty of iTunes!

i take mine to school every day i walk to school so i carry it when i walk but when im in class its in my back pack. but like on break and stuff i take my back pack of and carry it in pocket or something people have been known to take stuff out of other peoples back packs. only in class is it in my back pack

I take my iPod to school every day. Then again, I ride to and from school with my boyfriend and his little brother, and they know that if they mess with my iPod, heads will roll. The rest of the day, I keep my iPod safe in my purse, and I take that everywhere. I am so paranoid.
(My boyfriend has a 15-in. PowerBook G4 and he carries it in its laptop bag everywhere around school, even if he's asked to deliver something to another teacher. We are both paranoid!)
Nobody at school is really impressed by my iPod, though. It's almost like I'm preaching to the deaf.

I bring my 'Pod Mini to schools on all days except PE days (it's kinda inconvinient). Its kind of useful as there is a 20minute bus/train ride from school everyday and I need my Pod Mini to keep me company.

I know one other guy in my school has a 20GB 3rd Gen, so I'm not too worried about being mugged. It's pretty safe here unless you go around advertising the 'Pod, most people don't know what it is. I walk around with my Sony Ericsson T610, my thumbdrive and my 'Pod and so far, nothing has happened yet.

Next year, when my school introduces tablet PCs to my school, I'm going to bring my iBook to school instead. At least I know I'm safe around with so many Wintel users anyway.

well i take mine to school everyday and it only leaves my pocket when i am changing songs or turning it on an picking out the playlist. but at my school there are a lot of kids that have either an ipod or an ipod mini. during each passing period(the time between each class) i look around and see at least one pair of white earphones.:D:) if you dont take your 'pod out of your pocket, nothing can happen to it right??????

I bring my 3G 15gig to school every day cuz i dont have pe this semester. It mostly in my pack and my pocket, but i live in Colorado so i feel pretty safe. My friend lost his on a ski slope and it got turned in to the lost and found! That suprised me but i guess it shows u how safe it is here.

I take my iPod everywhere, including school, very consistently listening to it, I am kind of specualtive of who can browse through it seeing as it gets scratched so easily, I have it in my pocket for every class minus PE, and I'm fine with that. Which reminds me I forgot my radio transmitter on the bus today...but aI have a nice bus driver, though. :D

LOL in Boston I took the Subway a lot, put on the earbuds, and counted how many people had white earphones on. Thay ranged from little 4 year olds to very old senior men, my record high for that was on a two-part train with 13 iPod users :wow:

absolutely no one knows my locker combo...so i'm pretty confident it's safe in there. but anyway...

there are these great things...they're called pockets? why not just get a good case...and stick it in your pocket? that way it's on you at all times...pack some heat too...no one will even think about pick pocketing your precious ipod!

On days that I have XC meets, I bring it in my iSock Case, but other than that, there is no need for me to bring it, since I wouldn't be able to listen to it.

Those of you who have considered putting a lock on your bags are probably pretty friggin thick. A lock simply advertises the fact that you have something pricey in your bag, and if your would be theif decides they don't want to open it there and then, they can just pick the bag up and walk off - five minutes with a pair of scissors or a knife will have any bag open. :rolleyes:

Pehaps you could act like your "Boogie Man" namesake and make them hide under the blankets for the rest of their lives ;)

Seriously tho, I take my iPod into school on a regular basis, and nothing bad has happened to it. We have to wear Blazer/Jackets most of the time, so I figure I may as well use one of the many volimunous pockets. Which also handily double up as a pretty much scratch proof case <like silk or something>. The advantages you get by taking it in, to me at least, outweigh the <pretty minimal unless you attend some kind of Mafioso Funded school> risks. Obviously, if uniform includes Knives for "self-defence", then rethink it, but for most of us, it should be fine.

I go to boarding school and luckley no one has stolen it yet. i take myne with me to class, but others have gotten thers taken at my school.

if someone took my ipod, i'd hunt them down, then stab them in the face with a pen. but i dont think that would ever happen cos EVERYONES got em now... but my new one is orange......

I take mine to school now that it's started. I go to a huge university, so there is no chance of being "muscled" out of your iPod. We are all adults there.

I just wear it all day on my belt in a Timbuk2.

I go to a private girls' school where most people are quite rich and stealing isn't really a problem. I've seen at least 10 people with iPods at my school who freely wear the stock earbuds and carry the Pods in their hands so I think I'll be quite safe at school. I've lost my wallet at least four times before and people have always handed it in, even when I had quite a bit of money in there.

I'll be taking my iPod to school everyday because I have a 20min train ride + 15 minute walk to school.

i take my 3g 15gb to school, listen to it on the bus, in the caffeteria in the morning before school, on the bus on the way home and in photography, she lectures for five minuites then we have the next hour and a half to work on whatever, she doesnt care about it, a bunch of guys pull out CD players and a couple hae sony MDs, but im coolest....

I got my Discman stolen last year, which was why I got my iPod.

I know the risk when I bring my iPod to school...It just isn't worth paying all that money if I just leave it at home all the time.

I always have it either in my hand, or clipped on my waist now...I can't see it getting stolen really..unless I put it in my locker than my locker gets broken into, but I don't usually ever put it in my locker so..I'm confident it won't. But a lot of people certainly do like it...Since it is a rare item at my school. I only know of about 5-6 people who have them. Compared to hundreds of Mini-Disc/Discman/Tiny Mp3 players.

I'd be upset too...but I don't know if I would get a new one.

I would just find someone with a US Mailing address (you know why).

You all are paranoid. I've had mine since last December. I take it to school and everyone knows I have one. Stop being so paranoid, geez.

Someone just stole my scooter right outside of Target. Yes, scooters are lame, and cheap anyway, but it was so light and easy and faster than walking. What kind of lowlife steals a scooter??
My iPod hasn't been stolen yet, but theft is a huge problem at my school. I keep a watchful eye on it.

yeah i bring mine to school, and me and my friend have this very boring drawing class one hour after the other. i let him use it, and then he hands it off to me for the next hour. i started letting him use until lunch and then i get to, becuase i feel bad for him and his ipodless life.

hehe im so nice

I take mine to school every day. But i only listen to is in 3rd and 4th block.

I bring it to college but i rarely use it there, only if i find myself alone during breaks, studying or if i need to check some notes. But the reason i take it to college is because of the 30-60 min drive to college(heavy traffic).

I am extremely carefull there but i always have my ipod with me, i dont think someone will steal it for me unless he has a gun or something.

I take mine to school everyday, just start working out and beat up whoever tries to steal it.

I will take it to school the day I get it on my birthday!!

(and show it off :p)

That the entire reason I bought an iPod. I take it to school everyday along with about 30 other people at my school. Most of my friends have iPod the reglerly take to school. Yeah I wouldent take an iPod from a person that is 6'8". But their is a guy at my school that is freaken 7'2" I'm a freshman at 5'10" and I look like a midget next to him.

everyone at my school has them why not? i see atleast like 10-15 people everyday with an ipod

I take my iPod to school every day and i'm fine. Everyone has iPods at my school. I think it is fine to have it at school and even if people know that u have it. Everyone thinks it is really cool and that they want one. I don't see what they big deal is. U don't have to "lock" your backpack because u have an iPod. That's stupid.

Until those few seconds where you become forgetful and turn your back on it and its gone. Happens to folks everyday. I used to think people with chains on their wallets were idiots, until I left mine somewhere and it got jacked.

I'll be taking mine to school as soon as I get the i-see for it =)

this is what i do ever day at school, i have only not brought my ipod to school a couple of days out of the whole year. i know someone that his mom says that he isnt allowed to take his 4g 20gb to school because it might get stolen :confused: how could this happen if the ipod was on your person the whole time?

I have it with me pretty much everywhere I go... I know it's risky and such but I try to get the headphones under my shirt as much as possible, further more it's always in my pockets of my pants, tucked away.

The only time I don't have it on by the way is when I'm paying attention to the classes (which is hardly anytime :P...)
