BELLEVILLE, IL—Students and faculty at Summit Prairie High School expressed frustration and disappointment Monday, after realizing that they got the short end of the stick in a recent trade with the Max Planck Gymnasium in Freiburg, Germany. In a deal overseen by AFS Intercultural Programs, Summit Prairie traded sophomore Molly Knutson, 16, for 17-year-old Uwe Bohm.
"The point of a student exchange is to give people on both sides an opportunity to gain an understanding of a different culture and make international friends," Summit Prairie principal Fred Seward said. "Judging from the way he sits alone at lunch every day, I regret to say that Uwe has not inspired the students to do either."Seward characterized Knutson, the student SPHS sent to Germany, as one of the school's "smartest and most outgoing students.
"I swear, [Uwe] never smiles," List said. "He's gross. He's skinny and pimply, and his skin's yellow in places. He's wears the same maroon, button-up shirt every day and it totally smells like B.O. I don't know how his host family deals. I would puke."Advertisement
