Spy Kids

That could mean telling peers that their parents forced them to transfer because they broke the law, or fell in with a rough crowd at their last school. In their first few days, they might act quiet or circumspect, both to get a feel for the situation and to avoid attracting undue attention. But soon they might try to establish a reputation as a rebel, sitting at the back of the class, wearing baggy clothes, and talking back to their teachers. Some cheat on homework assignments; others sleep in class or flip through a copy of High Times. One female officer told a University of Missouri-St. Louis criminology researcher that when the teacher asked her to go up to a map and identify Africa, she pointed to Canada, prompting students to tease her about being dumb or on drugs. While such acts might not make a narc the most popular kid on campus, they establish her credibility among the burnouts. The best strategy depends partly on the group you?re trying to infiltrate, though. A Palm Beach officer told reporters he joined the high-school choir and made average grades in his first undercover assignment. The second time around, at a different school in the area, he sneaked out of class and got suspended as a way of ingratiating himself with a less-mainstream clique.
