The most hoodenest school in NYC is about to get even more hood. That's right kiddos, Stuyvesant High School is getting ready to install metal detectors. You may be asking yourselves, why? Has violent crime shot up at the nerd obelisk on Chambers Street? Are students running wild with robotic weapons from the robotics lab, or mad concoctions from the overly-equipped chemistry labs? No. The metal detectors will be put up in order, now get this, stop students from bringing their cell phones to school in an effort to curb cell phone oriented cheating.
Years ago, when me and my Stuy classmates roamed those halls, the cell phone was just becoming an essential accessory. By our senior year, most of us had phones, but we used them mostly to organize where and when we would buy/sell/smoke our trees. When it came to cheating, we kept it old school. It was paper and pen, or, if we wanted to push the envelope, the reliable TI-83 graphing calculator always came in handy.
Kids at Stuy are whining about the incoming metal detectors. They are saying their civil rights are being violated, and that a school like Stuy should be exempt from such industrially arcane practices. I say they are scared to cheat without their cell phones. Don't fret lil Stuy peeps. It can be done. There once was a time before cell phones when cheating was rampant, and kids got drunk and gambled in the Student Union during class. So stop your whining and put that all that latent intelligence to work. I have faith that this generation of Stuy kids will surely come up with new and creative to cheat without cell phones. Make us proud.

i think more cheating goes on at that school than anywhere else. A lot of the smart kids who buy/sell/smoke use their smarts to cheat rather than study. Its more fun to cheat, and also very thrilling, i almost got busted on two separate occasions for straight changing grades in the grade book, but got out of it on technicalities, meaning i cheated more by forging signatures onto another piece of paper and showing it to the teacher like, look at this, u graded it buddy. if u build a higher wall, stuy cats will just build a spaceship in speaker building class and get over it.
P.S. i failed my last class at platts cuz i got busted for plagiarism. no worries tho, still graduatin.
First off, Beauregard, you suck at life.
Secondly, do you think this generation of Stuy kids will surely come up with new and creative ways to be arrogant, anti-social, sexually inexperienced, lying scumbags?
who are you calling anti-social?
