Columbus High School student dies after playing 'the choking game'

Story: Columbus High School student dies after playing 'the choking game'

The local teens have developed a popular game in which they deliberately strangle themselves. I guess the goal is to survive. This young man did not. That's usually a good sign that the game has a couple of flaws. To our knowledge, Jigsaw from the SAW movies had nothing to do with encouraging this activity.

High School Coaches Undergo Sensitivity Training

Story: High School Coaches Undergo Sensitivity Training

One school district in Kentucky is requiring all coached to take a class and teach them not to bully and cuss at their players. Basically, they want to offer them positive ways to tell a kid he screwed up in a game. You know what they say, "Nice guys finish last."

Man watching high school runners charged with indecent exposure

Story: Man watching high school runners charged with indecent exposure

Apparently there is a law against masturbating while watching the local high school girls cross country team do their stretches. I am surprised that no one has ever noticed the creepy 40-year old Vietnamese guy hanging out at all the girls athletic events. Doesn't this neighborhood have a strip club?

Congress Urged to Take Action Against Bullying in Schools

Story: Congress Urged to Take Action Against Bullying in Schools

Name-calling has a new word: bullying. And it's not the sticks and stones that are breaking bones, it's the nooses that children use to hang themselves as a result of getting teased. Bullying is nothing new for a school-aged child, but many are arguing that it is the cause for some of these tragic side effects. So..who or what is to blame? We'd like to hear the readers thoughts.

Maine teacher says sorry for mock wedding to student

Story: Maine teacher says sorry for mock wedding to student

Paul Rosenblum (an elementary school teacher), took his lawfully wedded bride (a fourth grade student) in holy matrimony during recess on the playground. They plan to honeymoon near the monkey bars. So we can only assume the court won't allow him to marry one of his students for at least another ten years, right? In a letter to the parents, Mr. Rosenblum says he is "SICK with regret." Well, he certainly has the sick part right.

Story: Palm Beach Gardens High School principal accused of misusing district money

At some point, it's going to catch someones eye that thousands of dollars are being spent on chocolate roses, tuxedo rentals, and dinners.

Teacher Accused of Pushing Pills

Story: Teacher Accused of Pushing Pills

As a teacher, his hobbies included grading papers, giving pop-quizzes, and creating false prescriptions for Hydro-codone and Xanax. It's great that him and his wife have developed a common interest. It's just a shame that the cost was embarrasing himself in front of an entire school district and community.

Teacher Gives Sex Tape to 5th Graders

Story: Teacher Gives Sex Tape to 5th Graders

The class was expecting a DVD of their 5th grade memories. This would usually include field days, science projects, birthday parties, etc. Instead it featured explicit footage of Ms. Defanti banging someone on her couch. Simple mistake right? Most teachers keep their home porn collection in the same folder as their school kids photos. For some unknown reason, many of the dads have not yet returned the video.

LA school not happy with Bruno

Story: School officials not amused by comedian's photo shoot

Sacha Baron Cohen decided to make a pit-stop at an LA high school football practice for a photo shoot. He has already made Bruno into a household name for putting people in uncomfortable, often homosexual, situations. This team was no exception. The photos, which are featured in GQ, are currently embarassing officials from the district. The kids, however, love it. Go figure!
