NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: What Kind Of Students Is This Magnet Attracting?
After a staff member at the Humanities and Arts Magnet High School in Cambria Heights, Queens accidentally broke a barometer, administrators relocated all 2,500 students to nearby schools and hired a private contractor to clean up the mercury as a precaution, reports NY1 News. One student who attends the public school, which offers specialized curricula in music, dance, drama and art – as well as Advanced Placement courses in English Literature and Composition - had this to say: “We didn't know until this morning. They was telling me when I got online. They was like, 'oh, we don't have no school; mercury spilled.' I'm, like, okay.”
