Teacher Fired For Letting Students Taste Her Blood
In Sola, Norway, a kindergarten school teacher was sacked for letting her students taste her own blood during her classes. The kids' parents were definitely terrified and shocked from the bizarre blood feasting session. The fired teacher is now being tested for traces of HIV, Hepatitis B and C to find out if she has spread any lethal infection to the kids. Tasting blood? Definitely not my cup of tea.
