No. But it's a very lopsided view of these kids lives. Kids who are attending a school like Stuyvesant, and doing well, spend the vast majority of their waking hours poring over calculus and chemistry books, prepping for SATs, sitting in class paying very close attention and taking careful notes, etc. The wild hijinks that this article devotes 95% of its space to, occupy only about 5% of the space in these kids lives. And all the posters wailing "Oh how awful, civilization is coming to end", are going to be in for a rude shock 15-20 years down the road, when their kids are applying to these kids for jobs.

Another poster stated that most graduates of this high school were working in cubicles or small officers and were terrified of middle managers. High intelligence is not always a measure of business success. I doubt this crop of students will do any better.

15-20 years down the road, a significant percentage of these are going to be dead or on a whole pharmacy's worth of drugs because of the STDs they caught, unfortunately.

Economic prosperity is not peace, and lack of morals will destroy our nation:

"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." --John Adams, October 11, 1798.
