Girls Bugged Teachers' Staff Room
A pair of enterprising Swedish schoolgirls ended up in court after they were caught bugging their teachers break room. The duo hoped they would hear discussions about upcoming tests and school work, allowing them to get better grades. It worked until one of them decided to brag about it on Facebook, and the authorities were called in. The girls were charged with trespassing and fined 2,000 kronor ($270) each in Stockholm District Court.
For all we know they're 13 years old. Is it really worth it to really crack down on them or can we assume that both having to appear in court and the punishment their parents will apply on top of it are enough?
What do you propose? Hard time? Bigger fines?
People replying to my sig annoy me. That's why I change it all the time.
Where's that '-1: WTF' mod when I need it.
I used to be a high school teacher. You'd be amazed at how stupid the students think you are, and how amazed they are when they find out you have an actual life outside of school.
Also, they think you can't hear or see 3 feet beyond the teacher's desk.
Some of you may recall the story about school administrators using laptop cameras to spy on its students ( link to article ). In that case, no charges were could be brought against the school administrators. How is it that students doing the same to their administrators are treated as criminals, then? This world is so confusing.

..., the girls slept with teachers to get inside information about exams.
You kids stay off my lawn!

Or worse... YOU walk in and recognize that it's HER shoes while SHE's raging on the toilet with PBR beer shits at 150psi.
