Teen burns down house over test grades

TOKYO (Reuters) - A Japanese boy burned down his home, killing his stepmother and two younger siblings, for fear his parents would find out he had lied about his score on an English test.

The 16-year-old, whose name has not been released, is thought to have set fire to the house in Nara, western Japan, and left his stepmother to die along with his 7-year-old brother and 5-year-old sister, domestic media reports said on Saturday.

The boy's parents had been due to attend a meeting with teachers about his exam results that same day, reports said. The teen-ager told police his father, a doctor, had put him under extreme pressure over his academic performance, Kyodo news agency said

A 7th grade teacher of mine threatened our class the first day. Students the year before pranked her so much that she got caller ID. Back in 1991 caller ID was a big deal. They were oversized "square-shaped" things that hooked up to your phone.

Anyways, I didn't like her threat so I went to a pay phone to prank her and talk smack. The next day she told the class that the cops in town were watching every pay phone. I got scared then.
