Is This How Gen Z Handles A Car Crash?
Read the full story on The Auto Wire People are shocked at footage a Gen Z driver took right getting into a car crash because of how she handled the situation. After all, she appears to have recorded the aftermath before calling the cops or even getting out of her overturned right, this girl, who looks like she's in her late teens or early 20s, rolled her car and is talking to her followers while recording herself still strapped in, hanging upside down. We assume she's doing this because she was already livestreaming herself driving. Ironically, the livestreaming (if that's what she was doing) could have been the cause of the crash. The girl laughs while saying something about people wondering what it's like when 'you just totaled a car.' She's not answering that question because she's not acting like a normal person. You see, someone who isn't addicted to their device and posting on social media would've gotten out of the vehicle before getting out their phone. Then they would've called the police and maybe a close friend or relative. Perhaps she should've called her parent(s) who obviously owns the car. And maybe that's why she's not all that upset about the crash, because she has no skin in the game. The video is just plain weird and shows how some people just aren't living in reality. They're experiencing everything through their devices while constantly wondering if what they're going through will make good content for their social media followers. That's not living. We can't tell specifically what car the girl is driving, but we can see the interior is two-tone and there's a Mazda badge on the steering wheel hub. In other words, it's a newer Mazda of some sort. We bet her mom and/or dad is going to be really upset when they see this video. Image via Brandi Mcmullen/Facebook Join our Newsletter, subscribe to our YouTube page, and follow us on Facebook.

A Parent Let Their Son Choose What To Do With Money They Found–Here's What He Decided
Doing real-time experiments like this in the wild can teach us a lot about our kids and ourselves as parents. I recall one instance during my childhood when I was at the store with my dad. After paying for our items at the register (with cash), the cashier had apparently given my dad too much change. Noticing this, my dad called it out and gave back the extra amount. The cashier thanked him and we left. I couldn't have been more than 6 or 7 at the time, but I remember being intrigued by how my dad gave the store "extra" money. When we were in the car and I asked him about it, he proceeded to give me one of what would be many lessons on honesty, integrity, and karma. Well, one that a kid my age would understand, anyway. That experience stayed with me. And from that point on, whenever I felt I was in a position to do the honest thing with money, I tried to do it. We as parents want to believe our kids would make the right choices when given the opportunity. It can feel like more of a reflection on ourselves than our kids. And often times, that's true. But there are instances where we question how doing the "right" thing might clash with the "smart" thing. One parent recently went on Reddit to pose that very question, and it got some interesting responses. An Elementary Choice Experiment Reddit user WatermelonButterfly went onto the NoStupidQuestions subreddit to share how their 5-year-old son had found a "£10 note on the floor in a store." The parent says they gave their son the choice to either keep the money or turn it in at the front desk, in case the owner came asking for it. "I gave him the option because I knew he would choose to hand it in," OP writes. And they were correct, writing their son did just that. They also say they offered to take their son to "the shop and buy him a small treat for being so kind." They end the post by opening the floor to other Redditors, asking what would they have done in a similar situation. Redditors Say Kindness Is Great, but Beware of Naiveté The Reddit post has garnered over 140 comments to date, with most commending the parent and their kid for attempting to handle the situation with honesty. However, many are skeptical that the gesture would actually yield a feel-good outcome. "I know someone who works in a store and if they don't pocket it the owner of the store 100% will. Especially as there is no ID," comments one person. "I've worked at places where we couldn't do that but it had to go into the store funds and dropped at the end of the night," says another. Someone who apparently feels the OP's thinking was naïve, simply writes, "Yep. OP just made a donation to the business." A few commenters fell more on the empathetic side, but suggested there are more options to consider. "It was a good impulse to have and it's good to get your child thinking about how actions affect other people. It could be a third option you offer in the future while talking about the pros and cons of each choice," someone else writes. And someone else offers the thought, "On one hand we want to teach our kids to be kind and thoughtful, on the other we know how lousy the world really can be. I think this was a good first experience for a 5 y.o. Nuance can come later. Learning how absolutely lousy, unreliable, and untrustworthy many people can be is maybe a lesson better learned later." Teaching Core Values Is Always Invaluable I commend this parent for presenting the choice to their 5-year-old about what to do with the money. Even though they acknowledge they knew what the choice would be, it's still good practice to let the child make the choice and then give positive reinforcement. Giving a child that experience at that age will inform future choices. It should at least help them to think about it in ways they may not have otherwise. And even if you have to correct them, doing so early is better than them facing consequences that are tough to navigate later. It's true that we'll likely never know what happens to the money–whether it eventually goes back to the owner or if it gets "pocketed" by someone else. But that's not really the point. The point is instilling core values in our kids so their actions will be commendable, regardless of what happens outside of their control. Then hopefully, even if the world is crumbling around them, we can be proud of that investment. Read the original article on Parents Solve the daily Crossword

South Korean teacher, mother arrested for stealing exam
SEOUL: A teacher and a parent of a high school student in South Korea have been arrested for breaking into a school to steal exam papers, police told AFP on Wednesday. The country is known for placing extreme emphasis on academic achievement — with its annual college entrance exam forcing airplanes to be grounded during English listening tests. The pair are accused of breaking into a high school in Andong, about 270 kilometers south of the capital Seoul, at around 1:00 a.m. on July 4 to steal exam papers, triggering an alarm and leading to their arrest. 'A 31-year-old teacher and the 48-year-old mother have confessed to the crime,' said a detective at the Andong Police Station, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The teacher was a private tutor for the student while working at the school, where she was employed until February last year, authorities said. Police suspect the pair may have committed similar thefts in the past, helping the student ace academically, and that money was exchanged between the teacher and the mother. 'They tried to steal exam papers across many subjects, not confined to Korean, which the suspect was teaching,' the detective told AFP. A school maintenance worker was also arrested for aiding the late-night breach, investigators said. The student, who had maintained top grades since enrolling in 2023, has been expelled and her grades nullified, according to the Yonhap news agency.

South Korea arrests teacher and parent accused of breaking into school to steal exam papers
A high school teacher in her 30s has been detained by South Korean authorities for allegedly conspiring with a student's parent to break into her school and steal final exam papers. Investigators suspect that the teacher may have repeatedly provided exam materials in advance, enabling the student to maintain her top academic standing in her class. A court in Andong ordered the teacher to be held in custody on Tuesday, followed by the mother's detention. Police also intend to question the daughter over possible involvement in disrupting school operations, local reports said. They were reportedly assisted by a school facilities manager, who has also been taken into custody. According to investigators, the teacher and the parent forced their way into the high school in Andong in north Gyeongsang province at around 1.20am local time on 4 July, reportedly with the cooperation of a security guard who turned a blind eye to the break-in. However, the attempt was thwarted when the school's alarm system was triggered, leading to their apprehension. On Tuesday, following a separate court hearing, both the parent and the school facilities manager were formally arrested. The parent, in their 40s, faces charges of trespassing and interfering with school operations, while the staff member has been accused of facilitating the theft and allowing unlawful entry into the premises. The school confirmed that the teacher had entered the premises at least seven times after her resignation in February last year, with most of these visits coinciding with exam periods. The teacher had previously worked at the school until February 2024 and is currently employed at another high school in Gyeonggi province. Police have found evidence of financial transactions between the parent and the teacher, raising further suspicion of a bribery arrangement related to the theft. On Monday, the school recommended the student for expulsion and will nullify all of her past exam results. She had maintained the top position in her class throughout her time at the school. Investigations are ongoing, and authorities are continuing to examine the scope of the case, including the possible involvement of the security guard. Authorities have also confirmed that the teacher was also privately tutoring the student, an act that violates South Korean law barring currently employed schoolteachers from offering paid extracurricular instruction. Authorities have also since reportedly widened the investigation, uncovering signs that other fixed-term teachers may have also received payments or gifts from parents. 'We are investigating the scope of the stolen test content, the timeline of leaks, possible co-conspirators, and whether money changed hands,' a police spokesperson was quoted as saying by local news outlet Kyunghyang Shinmun. The incident has triggered widespread outrage among parents, who are demanding accountability and stricter safeguards to prevent such breaches. 'It's shocking to think something like this, which feels straight out of a drama, happened in our community,' said Kim Su-jeong, the mother of a middle school student. 'There are rumours that the mother did this to get her daughter into medical school,' she was quoted as saying by Korea Joongang Daily.
