  Accused and Bound: Violence Erupts in Midnight Vigilante Incident A harrowing incident of vigilantism unfolded late last night when a young local teacher was violently assaulted, tied to a light pole, and interrogated over allegations of infidelity. The confrontation began around midnight when a group of men, led by a local resident, cornered the young man outside a residence.

It is common for students who perform well in mock exams or daily classwork to find themselves staring at a slip filled with 4s, 5s, and 6s. Several factors contribute to this disconnect: First-Time High-Stakes Pressure:  For most 14- or 15-year-olds, the BECE is their first experi...
