So is this a case of an unintelligent reporter or one who just wants to tell the whole story? In an article about why students are sent to summer school a kid is interviewed. The kid, Nicholas, says that he is working at his dad’s shop to pay his parents back for summer tuition. In an interview with the parents, they told the newspaper that there was no tuition; the parents want Nicholas to believe he is paying.
One can assume that they were planning on just letting the kid keep the money when he has made the “price” of tuition, but surely Nick’s going to read the article in the paper where he was quoted. Thus, the plan has been spoiled.
… and silence ensues …
