Girls Bugged Teachers' Staff Room

Posted by samzenpus on from the making-the-grade dept.

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.

      Those girls will really feel the Sting of their actions once the Police get involved.

    Ya know..... the same way the case in Pennsylvania was dropped when the teachers were caught spying on the girls' bedrooms.

    Spying == okay when it's a government employee. Some people are more equal than others.

      But it's not trendy on slashdot to be logical about government and police practices!

    I hope the court system teaches them a lesson that they won't forget, because a slap on the wrist (tiny fine) just isn't going to cut it.

    Indeed, these swedish girls deserve a spanking!

    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.

    ..., the girls slept with teachers to get inside information about exams.

    A student comes to a young professor's office hours. She glances down the hall, closes his door, and kneels pleadingly. "I would do anything to pass this exam."

    She leans closer to him, flips back her hair, gazes meaningfully into his eyes. "I mean," she whispers, "I would do anything."

    He returns her gaze. "Anything?"

    "Anything."

    His voice turns to a whisper. "Would you... STUDY??"
