Futch, In Name and Nature


Looks like events are about to overtake, and somewhat interfere with, Principal Frank Futch's eternal coffee break:

SPEARSVILLE, La. (AP) -- Two fifth-graders had sex on a classroom floor while two others fondled each other in the classroom, according to a teacher at Spearsville High School.

Union Parish Superintendent Judy Mabry would say only that the allegations were being investigated; Principal Frank Futch said the incident was not indicative of how the school is run.

First-year teacher Michael Walker, who teaches fifth- through eighth-grade English, said three students were either expelled or sent to an alternative school and two others got detention.

Students at the kindergarten through 12th grade school are unruly, disrespectful and rarely disciplined, Walker said.

"They cuss at the teachers and throw things at them, and nothing is done," Walker said. "There was even one student who grabbed a teacher in the butt and nothing was done. The students run the school."

..."This is one incident and everyone is making a big deal out of it," Futch said. "I never had a teacher complain to me, but I have heard them complain to each other."

The Dead Woman in the Bathtub of Sand on a Balcony Near Tokyo


Except for the bathtub and the sand the the balcony and Tokyo, I expect to go in some similar way:

Brit found dead in Tokyo bath


A MANHUNT has been launched in Japan after a British teacher was found dead in a bathtub of sand.

Lindsay Ann Hawker, 22, was discovered on the balcony of a flat near Tokyo.
