A school board in Canada has launched an investigation after school staff strip-searched 28 tenth grade students after a cell phone went missing during a final exam.
The students at Cap-Jeunesse high school north of Montreal were told to place their phones on the teacher's desk to prevent cheating during a math test. When one phone went missing, teachers ordered the strip search.
"They put us in a small room," one student told QMI. "[They said] 'take off your bra, then raise your arms.' They even tapped us on the back," she said.
Ugh. Fire these teachers now. Inexcusable behaviour for an educator.

man, what ever happened to the days where you would just write stuff on the inside of your ti-83 calculator (in pencil, so it was hard to catch) to get through pure 20?
ridiculous.

I drew a fake screen on my Ti-83 pixel by pixel that looked identical to the freshly cleared memory screen. That way I was able to access all of my important info.
Er, what I mean is, I studied really hard back in high school.

you mean how to draw a parabola using the x1 x2 and y1 y2 coordinates?
or so dope wars didnt get deleted and you had games to play during class?
Man you guys had it easy. We weren't allowed to bring calculators to tests when I went to school. We got a piece of paper and a pencil.
Anyways it was too heavy to sneak in a calculator as they were two feet wide and 3 feet long, were powered by 20 9 volt batteries and could only calculate out to 4 digits.

I started reading the thread to see if they found the phone, and am leaving disappointed. But yeah, definitely inappropriate. Even in the bad old days of corporal punishment, I never heard about anything like this.

there is a way to store information in a way that it wont be deleted.
I did it in college and the professor did the reset deal and it didn't work. It was golden for all the formula's and such.

And here I thought I was old, at least we had red LED's We got to see what they were made of as well, a few times our wonderful math teacher would stomp one to death if someone got caught with it.
The worst crime in this story is a reporter and editor who thought it was acceptable to not tell their readers if the cell phone was found or at least offer an "officials refused to say if the cell phone was found or not."
