Man and a goose form unlikely friendship

In Echo Park near downtown Los Angeles, the geese that live there begin their daily routines. Some swim, some walk and peck for food. Basically same stuff that geese do everywhere. But there is one goose there with routine all to there own. Every morning, its priority is to stand by the side of the road and patiently wait for her mate to return on his scooter. The old man comes down to the park every day to see the bird.

Many kids have come to wonder why teachers are so strict on why there is to be no texting in classes. Is it so others around the texter are not getting distracted or so that the texter is not distracted from their schooling?

Trevor: As long as it is not effecting the learning environment then there is no reason that kids should be able to text.

Students do not see why if it doesn’t affect people around them then what is the problem with texting in school.

The opinion of some parents was surprising as it was different from teachers. 

Michelle: I as a parent do not care if my children text in school. If they are getting their work done and have good grades then what does it matter? Kids should be allowed to text in school as long as they are at a good standing grade in their classes.

Mrs. Thompson: I think that it is rude to both us the teachers and also to other kids around. Thus making a easy solution to it all and just not allowing kids to text in the classroom.

Is texting something that will continue to not be allowed in the classroom or with more students texting in class will this be a rule that will soon no longer be enforced?

Signing off for the flash, This is Collin

Man allegedly karate chops air marshal

Airline passengers got to see the a fight on a recent flight that ended with a man being subdued by air marshals. The incident happened on a Delta Air Lines plane on route from Paris to Atlanta last Thursday, according to a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court of Georgia. A woman said she was asleep when the passenger seated behind her, who was Brian Louis Pomykala, woke her up by "forcibly fondling and grabbing her face and head and then gesturing toward his crotch area indicating that he needed some sex," according to the complaint. When the air marshals came over he karate chopped one of them in the throat but he was then taken down by the other air marshals.
