In a new space and money-saving trend, trend many high schools are getting rid of lockers.  With electronic books and laptops replacing textbooks and notebooks, the change makes sense in many districts, but leaves questions like, without lockers, where will students put things like jackets, backpacks, and nerds?

Critics say getting rid of lockers is making high school just like riding on an airplane.  You have to keep your cell phone turned off, hold your coat in your lap, and hide your weed in your underwear for 6 straight hours. 

“Teacher’s a Pet?”

A St. Louis area high school teacher has resigned following the discovery that she had appeared in adult film in the 1990’s. This isn’t the first time her past has put her in an uncomfortable position.

It was obvious that word of her past had leaked out when one day, her male students with access to the Internet all showed up to school with an apple for the teacher.

Though technically placed on administrative leave at the teacher’s request, the department hasn’t fired her, because they don’t know if anyone could fill that hole.
