I don't hear any classmates jumping to his defense.
Someone said he has a YouTube video up.
I can’t find it, but we need that.
If he were such a genius, then why did clock go off in English class?
Either....
1. He’s not such a genius, because of he were that smart, he’d at least know how to set the timer/alarm.
Or....
2. He INTENDED for it to go off in English class either to be a brat and cause a disruption or to cause the scare that his Science teacher warned him of.
Either way, none of that speaks to a stellar/model student the media is making this kid out to be.
