Swedish Schoolgirls Bug Teachers' Lounge

- By - Source : Tom's Guide US

You have to admire their efforts.

Improvements in technology means kids are becoming more and more creative with cheating. The days of writing physics formulae on rulers have been replaced by smartphones packing Wikipedia apps. However, just because you're using an incredibly clever method to get your hands on answers or test questions ahead of time, doesn't mean you're particularly clever.

Case in point: A couple of Swedish schoolgirls had bugged the teachers' lounge hoping to overhear what topics would come up on their exams. Unfortunately for them, they were thwarted when one half of the duo got so excited she bragged about the gambit on Facebook.

According to My Fox, the girls came up with the plan after finding a key to the staff room. Once they had formed the plan, they went to a spy shop to purchase bugging equipment, and planted it in the teachers' lounge the day before the staff was due to have a meeting about grading students' work. However, things fell flat when one of the students bragged about the plan on her Facebook. Once word got out, teachers found the bug and the jig was up. The girls were charged with trespassing and fined $270 each.

This is why fewer and fewer people who actually think use facebook at all. Personally I avoid it.

That's just... *Sigh*. I know for a fact that the principles at my old high school creep student's FB pages, and talk about any issues with them. That seems really illegal to me, but just saying. :D

Dumb for even trying to bug a teachers lounge room, even more dumb that they decided to post it on Facebook.

Article would have been more interesting if it were reversed and involved "locker room" or something.

Luckily this was in Sweden and not the USA, otherwise they would likely be up some serious charges lol.. reminded of the case where some poor kid had the book thrown at him over toe-nail clippers and the nail file (ie sharp object) they have.

I am a middle school teacher and if they had bugged our lounge the girls would have been crying because when teachers are "off duty" they can "gripe"(to put it politely) about students.

Agreed, I read the first two words and clicked, hoping for the best. I'm assuming that was the point though.

You mean you didn't just recite all the answers to next week's exam to the other teachers in the lounge? Strange...

Thank you very much for writing that correctly, my eyes bleed when I try to read my teenage nieces wall posts on facebook. So many extra letters, unneeded letters, letters that do nothing but make the word sound wrong, it makes my head hurt trying to read it.

It's because we, unlike in the US, let our women out of the kitchen. :D

The swedish schoolgirls need to be disciplined...wash them and bring them to me! On the other hand, don't wash them, I like them dirty :->

It's not only these girls, the Internet has many stupid people bragging about their illegal activities, knowingly and unknowingly. It's funny at first, it's hilarious when they get caught.

"See this is why we should hate kids." --Moe, Simpsons Movie.

Just kidding but really kids just do not think. It always seems like facebook is their downfall every time. I believe kids need to learn before hand that facebook is not private no matter what the settings are and if you do not want it known publicly then do not put it on any social media. Don't get me wrong I do NOT condone what they did, but they just did not stop and think as usual and with social media that can prove to be dangerous. In this situation the outcome was the right one, but too many times the outcome is just wrong.

LOL, the title of the topic was a set-up and the story was anti-climatic.

It would have been the perfect title for a different genre topic or better, movie.
