They’d be hauling the teachers off to FCC jail but a school in northern Italy has decided that they only way they can deal with students using their cellphones to cheat on exams is install cellphone signal jammers across campus. They turn the jammers off during lunch so that the students — and teachers — don’t totally freak out.

They must have crap teachers because we have teachers that would see if we used them but they need to jam the phones so the staff cant be good.

A related story which i though you might find interesting.

Cheating teachers arrested
According to News24.com, at least seven high school teachers in Shangai have been arrested for selling exam answers to their students amid charges of widespread cheating in a central Chinese province.

"Teachers at Henan province's Puyang No. 2 High School used cellphone text messages to send answers to students during the three-day nationwide university entrance exams earlier this month.
