Teen Takes Upskirt Photo of Teacher, and You Won’t Believe Who Got Blamed Posted: 17 Mar 2015 02:52 PM PDT Blaming an educator for a student's poor reading skills is one thing—saying its her fault that a student decided to take an upskirt photo of her is quite another. The incident, which happened late last week at John Dewey High School in Brooklyn, comes just after the end of the New York City Department of Education's controversial ban on students having cell phones on campus.

Teachers in Rhode Island city sue to observe Good Friday Posted: 17 Mar 2015 02:48 PM PDT PROVIDENCE, R.I.

California hopes to ease path to historically black colleges Posted: 17 Mar 2015 12:42 PM PDT SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Leaders of California's vast community college system on Tuesday approved a program aimed at making it easier for students to transfer to historically black colleges and universities in other parts of the country.

Unrest spreads in Gabon ahead of presidential poll Posted: 17 Mar 2015 07:03 AM PDT Strikes in schools, hospitals and in private business, along with a drop in vital oil revenues, have brought turbulent times for Gabon's President Ali Bongo Ondimba. Teachers' unions have threatened to write off the current academic year for students if the government refuses to meet their demands for a substantial rise in the minimum monthly salary from 80,000 CFA francs (122 euros, $129 dollars) to 300,000 CFA francs.
