It's one thing for a headline to be inexact, it's another thing to be a standard clickbait perversion of the contents.

- peeters 11y agoI don't get why people are seeing this as egregious clickbait. It's taking well known saying "going back to school" and using it in a figurative, instead of literal, sense. He IS "revisiting" high school, in a sense. Most people graduate high school and never look back. Munroe is looking back. The title did not say he would be a student.
- 33W 11y agoAgreed. I like maltz's suggested clickbait title "The shocking change at your kids' high school you absolutely must know about".
- SilasX 11y agoCall me crazy, but I wish news articles would focus more on being information and less on being comics or novels intended to drag you along. Choosing a cute, misleading title over an accurate one seems like the wrong choice.
