Page "New Trier High School" Paragraph 10

New Trier was featured in the December 9, 1996, issue of Time in an article entitled " High Times at New Trier High.

" Among other claims, the article stated that " New Trier kids who smoke pot " were " by all accounts more than three-fifths of the student body ," compared with national averages at the time closer to 33 %.

However, on the school's WNTH's radio program, the writer acknowledged that the " three-fifths " claim had been inadvertently rewritten during the editing process in such a way that seemed to imply that more than 60 % of New Trier students may be regular users of marijuana, whereas that figure should have been clearly labeled as the portion of students who had ever used marijuana, including many who had used it only once or twice.
