If faith can move mountains, perhaps Beliebers can postpone exams.
Kristin Halvorsen, Norway's education minister, basically said, "Why not?" when five schools within 230 miles of Justin Bieber's next show in Oslo decided to delay midterm exams until after the concert, agreeing that it's wiser not to compete with the pop star for fans' mindshare, according to the Associated Press.

Is this what they mean by Bieber fever?
Five schools in Norway have rescheduled midterm exams so students will not have a conflict between their tests and a Justin Bieber concert. The country's Ministry of Education and Research has no plans to oppose this move.
As first reported by Fox News, the intense popularity of Bieber in Norway, coupled with the remote location of some schools, led to the decision. Students in the western part of the Scandinavian country will take their midterm examinations at a later date.
The Norwegian education minister, Kristin Halvorsen, has said that the government will not interfere with the individual schools' decisions on this. "I am concerned that students should be concentrating when they take tests and midterms," she said. "We've all been 14 years old and know that interests can be intense."
All of the five schools choosing the rescheduling are located in the country's Alesund region,...
