Did anybody see the news story where the kid admitted too making up the whole story?

of course it was a fake story, who in his right mind could believe that kind of silly fairy tale ?

Apparently lots of people believed. The author of the original NEW YORK magazine article and her editor, whoever recycled it in the UK Daily Mail, the OP of this thread, and wrbtrader.

As you say it's a rough school!! Built specifically for a STEM curricula it was, at the time it was built, the most expensive high school in America -- $200,000,000. I lived a few blocks away at one time and when school let out it was like being in Hong Kong!!

Better like being in HK, then say, Nigeria or Democratic Republic of Congo. :eek:
