Scandinavian education news roundup

From a Norwegian tabloid. (Apologies in advance for the bad translation, but look, I can translate Norwegian, more or less!) Possibly the best part is that there are links to all the other stories about drunk elk in Sweden, and yes, there are several.

(VG Nett) En full elg skremmer barn på skoleveien i Sverige. Nå kan den bli skutt for elge-fylla.
A drunk elk scares children on the way to school in Sweden; now it can be shot for elk-drunking.

En sinna og antakelig full elgokse har i flere dager skremt barn i Mölndal i Sverige. I dag morges lå den og sov ved inngangen til Eklandaskolan før den til slutt lusket vekk. Lærerne måtte lose de skremte barna inn på skolen.
- Barna var kjemperedde, sier skoleansatt Camilla Andersson til aftonbladet.se. Det er ikke helt uvanlig at elger kan bli beruset på senhøsten. Det kommer av nedfallsfrukt som blir liggende å gjære før den blir spist av elgene.

An angry and obviously drunk bull elk has for several days scared children in Mölndal in Sweden. In the morning it lies and sleeps near the entrance to Eklanda-school before it finally goes away. The teachers had to guide the terrified children into the school. "The children were extremely scared," says the school employee Camilla Andersson to the Aftonbladet. It is not totally unusual that elk can be intoxicated in the late fall. It comes of down-fallen-fruit that stays lying to ferment before it becomes eaten by the elk.

FYLLE-ELG
DRUNK-ELK

Dette mistenker politiet også er tilfellet med elgen i Mölndal.
- Antakeligvis er det eplene som lokker elgen. Det kan være grunnen til problemet. Vi kan ha med en fylle-elg å gjøre, sier Jan Caiman befal ved politiet i Mölndal.
- Om den ikke roer seg får vi ta en beslutning om eventuell skyting, sier Caiman videre.
Han håper likevel den gretne elgen slipper å bøte ned livet for fyllebråket.
- Heller noen frostnetter slik at eplene forsvinner, sier han.

The police suspect this is the situation with the Mölndal elk. "Presumably it is the apples that entice the elk. That is probably the root of the problem. We are probably dealing with a drunk elk," says Jan Caiman, officer of the Mölndal police. "If it doesn't move itself, we will make a decision about eventually shooting it," continues Caiman. He still hopes the peevish elk will escape paying its life for the drunk racket. "Maybe a frost so that the apples disappear," he says.
