A 24-year-old private school and Stanford graduate talked administrators of a public high school into letting him attend the school disguised as a teenage student, and wrote up his experience in a non-fiction book called High School Confidential. Now that the book is out his "classmates," now college age, allege the book is full of exaggerations and lies they deliberately fed him after reading him as a fake.
Added interesting bit: school administrators initially refused to admit that Claremont High in Southern California was the school the author attended (he fictionalized the name in the book, but sharp-eyed readers figured it out). It was only after an anonymous source in the school office tipped off the student paper that the whole story came out.

I think the high school students had it right--it's creepy.
