Hair-Raising Test-Taking Capers

Look with suspicion at students wearing wigs and unusual clothing on high-stakes test days. Police in Hanoi, Vietnam, uncovered a cheating ring in which students wore wired wigs and shirts when taking college entrance exams. In a recent raid, police found cell phones, earphones, and smart cards as well as wigs and shirts. Only 10 percent of the students in Vietnam gain entrance into college, so apparently some will go to great lengths to get admitted.

Truthfully, this was a really outstanding post. In hypothesis I'd like to drop a line like this too - taking time and real effort to make a complete article... but what can I say... I dilly-dally a lot and never seem to get something done.

As an old guy, I really like'd catching up with my granddaughter's generation with the touch. The functionality is great and I enjoy the touch control.
