QUIRKY WORLD ... Students want teacher back after nude photo furore

USA: Some South Carolina high school students have started an online petition to bring back a teacher who resigned after a student spread a nude picture of her through text messages and social media.

Union County High School teacher Leigh Anne Arthur, 33, told news outlets she left her mobile phone on her desk as she monitored a hallway during a class change. A 16-year-old boy took her phone, and with his own phone took pictures of nude images of Ms Arthur on her phone, she said.

Ms Arthur said she took the picture to send to her husband for Valentine’s Day.
