Study: Kids Provoke and Video Many Teacher Tantrums

It's called cyber-baiting, and it's a growing phenomenon in today's electronic and connected world. It happens when students deliberately provoke a teacher to the breaking point.

When the teacher finally "loses it", they video his or her emotional or angry outburst on their cellphones and the video goes viral on YouTube in a matter of minutes.

It's humiliating, it destroys a teacher's morale, and as it has in many cases, it can cost them their job.

East Texas Weather Update

Winter Weather Advisory is in effect thru this evening for Lufkin, Nacogdoches, and most of Deep East Texas. A Winter Storm Advisory has now displaced the warning for the Tyler/Longview area.

We're seeing a number of reports of freezing mist and drizzle in the area which with the current temperatures below freezing, could lead to dangerous travel, especially on bridges and overpasses.

School early dismissals and late starts follow the bump.
