Is it legal for a teacher to tear up a exam paper of a student? (Grade 7)?
after a test, a person was collecting the papers, and half the classes papers was already been collected (alphabetical order {im on the bottem of the list ,Viljoen}) then my freind took my cd walkman and did something with it so i leaned over to him to see what he was doing (his paper was already collected) and the teacher shouted "BRING ME YOUR EXAM PAPER!!!" so i did and he tore it up. i live in south-africa ,13 years of age. what must i do We are allowed to have cd walkmans at school for when you've finished you can listen!

You should explain your situation to the headmaster or principal. There is probably nothing illegal about what the teacher did, but the background circumstances should be considered. Hopefully you will be allowed to take the exam again.
2 :
Sorry about that. I dont think the teacher acted rationally..but what can you do now- your paper has been torn. Try explaining what you did or did not do and is he doesnt want to listen take it further up the ladder and explain what happened. This will affect your scores if not addressed but you have to deal with such a situation in a better way the next time it happens, like getting the teacher's attention as to what the other student is doing to distract your posture in class.
3 :
it is legal if you are caught cheating red handed. firstly, you shouldn't have a cd walkman with you during the examinations, secondly, you should raise up your hand, get your teacher's attention so that you can tell your teacher that your friend fiddled with your personal belongings. Under strict examination rules(like the GCE O, N and A levels' rules), no communication should be made between 2 candidates once the paper is given out, until ALL the papers are collected. So, it seems like your teacher is super strict? you can explain it to him, or ask for alibi that you weren't cheating, because your teacher most probably thought that you cheated.
4 :
Show that you care and you will not stand for it. Take action, for whatever you do. Sometimes going out of your way to justify that you did not cheat proves to the teacher that you did nothing wrong.
5 :
I think what the teacher did was unethical, but not illegal, teachers in my highschool will tear up papers if they think that you have cheating. However if you just talk to your principal and talk to your teacher, I'm sure you could sort it out
6 :
Go to your school counselor or the principle and tell them what happened. They may let you retake the test. It would be worth a shot. worst thing they can do is say no and then you will be in the same place you are now. Try to remember that some times teachers have bad days too. I know that doesn't excuse what they did.
7 :
No, it's not legal, because the exam paper, or any sort of test is a goverment document protected by the law.So your teacher violated rules, you should report that to your principle.But make sure that your teacher doesn't know because he might do something nasty to you.But I repeat HE VIOLATED THE LAW

Can I skip and International flight if I have a student visa?
Can I skip and International flight if I have a student visa?
Hello, I am a US citizen that is going to move to South Africa for college. Obviously, since my plan is to move there, I don't need a flight back home. While looking at airline fares, I noticed that a one-way flight is around $3000, while a round-trip ticket costs as low as $1500. My question is, would I get into any legal trouble if I book a round-trip ticket and just skipped out on my return flight? My only objective in this is to save money. I would have a student visa allowing me to stay in SA, and I would be staying at the residence I would have given to passport control along with my other information. I simply find it ridiculous to pay double the price when I'm not even coming back. I'm not really worried about having to pay Delta a $100-$200 fee for missing the flight. I'm solely interested in the legality of doing this. Thanks guys! -Elijah Thanks for the quick answer. I plan on having my student visa well before my ticket though haha. Three cheers for $8/hr !! Good to know there might be a way to weasel my way out of spending so much.

No, if you didn't return they'd just cancel your ticket. Also, having a round trip ticket might save you some grief with your student visa.
2 :
NO PROBLEMS If they ask (which is very very unlikely), just say that you missed your flight and will rebook a one-way at a later time!

Can a British citizen by descent get a student loan/youth allowance in UK?
Can a British citizen by descent get a student loan/youth allowance in UK?
I was born in South Africa in 1989, moved to New Zealand in 1997, and moved to Australia, where I'm living at the moment, in 2008. I'm currently a New Zealand citizen, as of 2003. My father was born in England, and my parents were married when I was born up until when I was 5 or 6. I believe that this makes me a British citizen by descent, and I should have no trouble getting a passport. I would like to go to university soon, and I would prefer to go somewhere in the EU. Would I be eligible for a student loan and living allowance in Europe? Also, I'm particularly attracted to Sweden, Finland, Netherlands, Denmark and Germany; but I don't speak any of the native languages of these countries. Is it possible to do English language study in any of these places? Specifically, I'm wanting to do psychology. Thanks.

Well i dont think how you get your citizenship matters if you are a citizen then you get all the rights you would if you're a citizen by birth. (im american btw but our citizenship process and citizenship rights are about to be changed cuz we have bigots running this country). also if you do hold european citizenship then im pretty sure you can study anywhere in europe with ease. but if you still havent gotten british citizenship then the process of getting it would be relatively easy since you have a english father. if not then i guess you can apply for some study abroad program that allows you to travel to europe with a set of allowance.

You are indeed a British citizen by descent and are therefore able to get a British passport. You won't need to worry about visas, maintenance funds (although the stated requirements for a student coming to the UK of £800 per month in London and £600 per month elsewhere are actually a very good guide as to how much you should put aside to support yourself). You will have no restrictions on working, changing courses or which courses you want to do or what education provider you choose. You can also study anywhere in the EEA. You will need medical insurance while exercising your treaty rights as a student. These links gives more info on student rights in the EU and the courses available. http://europa.eu/eu-life/studying/index_en.htm http://ec.europa.eu/education/study-in-europe/index_en.html However, in the UK you are still an international student, not a home student and therefore not eligible for home fees, student loans or any public funds (benefits). The rules on this rely on your residency, not your citizenship. You need to be a UK resident for three years prior to the start of your course and that residency must not be for the sole purpose of education to be eligible for home fees and loans. You will not get any benefits as a student in the UK. I would assume that the same is true for all EEA countries. If you need funding, you should look at whether any organisations in your own country provide funding for overseas students. The UK taxpayer will not support people who have not paid into the system and I don't suppose any other country will either. Many European universities offer degrees in English. I know someone who is studying to be a vet in Hungary and doing her degree in English.

This applies to Sweden. You will not be eligible for any loan or allowance from public funds. As an EU citizen (you must be able to prove this, typically with a passport) you will be exempt from application and tuition fees. You will however, like Swedish students, have to pay for literature and the like. Universities do not provide accommodation, but student unions often rent out rooms or flats. It is possible to apply for separate courses, but if you intend to be licenced/registered as a psychologist you must be admitted to and follow a special programme. Admission is based on marks and/or entry test results (“Högskoleprovetâ€, a written test taken in Swedish) and the competion is tough. There are strict entry requirement for university studies. The exact demands differ between different courses and programmes. For all undergraduate studies (there are exceptions for certain exchange programmes) and most other courses certified skills in Swedish is required for admission. It is possible to study Swedish in Sweden without cost, but these studies must be completed before admission to the proper university education.
