An incident caught on a cell phone camera might lead the Caddo School Board to ban cell phone use at schools during the academic day from 7 a. m. until school ends. The idea was born when a student with a cell phone camera took photos of a physical fight between another student and the Huntington High School Principal Jerry Davis. According to The Shreveport Times, the cell phone images caught the media's attention and school board officials had to put Davis on paid administrative leave. KSLA TV 12 reports that Davis was accused of choking the student. In explaining that she wasn't really banning cell phones from schools, School Board Members Dottie Bell said that the student who used his cell phone to photograph the incident highlighted the fact that students are misusing their cell phones during school time. "Students are misusing the phone. They are texting test answers, they are taking pictures while changing clothes, and sending them to You Tube," Bell said. But the Caddo Federation of Teachers objects to banning students from using cell phones during school hours. They say that it would require checking the students. Anyway, both teachers and parents say they favor students having the security of cell phones to communicate in light of the massacres at Columbine High School and Virginia Tech. But school board members say that banning cell phone use would be in line with existing school policy that bans use of electronic devices during school hours without permission from the principal, The Shreveport Times reports. If the student with the cell phone camera had been following that rule, it is doubtful that Davis would be on leave now, because it can be assumed that he wouldn't have given a student permission to photograph him while he was choking another student.

Contrary to common notion that WAGs are nothing but party-loving clothes animals, a recent study conducted among sports wives and girlfriends revealed they are actually serious in their studies. The government-funded Learning and Skills Council (LSC), says most of the so-called "Wags,' the popular acronym for wives and girlfriends of sportsmen, gained at least the equivalent of five good General Certificate of Certified Secondary Education (GCSE).

An Egyptian teacher who wears the niqab, an outfit usually black and covers the entire body including the face and reveals in some cases, only the eyes, paid an unemployed man to wear the clothing and take her driving test. However, when the man showed up to take the test, traffic security officers noticed his shoes and suspected a man was underneath the clothes. The man eventually cracked and confessed that the teacher paid him $120 to take the test for her. The woman, who had been waiting at a near by cafe, was arrested.
