British students got the shock of a lifetime when they walked into their classroom and found their teacher's bloody body on the floor, The Daily Mail reported.

The parents of the students — some as young as 5-years-old — were furious that it was all part of a problem-solving exercise.

The scene was set up to look like the teacher had been attacked, with fake blood splattered across the floor and police tape blocking off the "crime scene," The Daily Mail reported.

The school's principal told The Daily Mail that the scene was staged to cover key skills in the curriculum, from creative writing to science.

Investigators then appeared to ask the students to figure out who committed the crime and reportedly took the fingerprints of some children, the paper reported.

Sneaking an occasional beer with friends could actually be a good thing for teens -- especially girls --according to new research that upends typically negative views on teens and alcohol.

Timothy Owens, a sociology professor at Purdue University in Indiana, found that high school girls who drank once or twice with their friends in the past month were less likely to feel depressed than those who didn't.

"The realistic explanation is that teens drink for a lot of reasons, and one of them is to blow off steam, get together, have fun, joke around with their peers," Owens says.

MILWAUKEE — A Milwaukee Army reservist's military identification earned him some street cred Tuesday, when he says four men who mugged him at gunpoint returned his belongings and thanked him for his service after finding the ID.

The 21-year-old University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee student said he was walking home from work about 1:15 a.m. Tuesday when he was pulled into an alley and told to lay face down and with a gun to his neck. Four men took his wallet, $16, keys, his cell phone and even a PowerBar wrapper from his pants pockets, he said.
