Student had good excuse for not finishing test: He got arrested in class

High school students will do almost anything to dodge a test, but one teen at South Point High School in Gaston County is accused of taking things too far last week in class.

The 16-year-old boy got arrested at the school late Friday for shouting repeatedly during a test, reports the Gaston Gazette.

What he was shouting isn’t clear, but we’re guessing it wasn’t the correct answers.

A teacher reportedly tried quieting the enthusiastic student, but to no avail. The teen was charged with disorderly conduct at school, a misdemeanor, and released about three hours later, the Gazette reports.

At least he wasn’t cheating.
