Credibility of Stories

How much credibility can we give our children when the come home with outlandish stories of their teachers and other students at school that day? One daughter reported that she saw one of her middle school coaches plucking another coaches eyebrows during the workout session. She said that she had gone to the athletics office to ask a question when she came upon them.
Then there's the story about the two students, girls, who had spent $120 and $107, respectively, on spirit beads. They drained the stash and left no beads to be purchased by other students. My youngest daughter went to buy a string or two at 50 cents each and found that there were no more. When she saw the enormity of the number of beads on one of the girls she asked if she could purchase one and was promptly given a "no."
These are the recent WOW topics that I am pondering.
