What would be the point of the hoax?

Ha ha, people believed a story about a fucked up bureaucracy! How foolish they are! Bureaucracies are the perfect will of God here on earth!

A fictional account of a screwed up bureaucracy, or a screwed up school district, would hardly prove that they don't exist.

The post seemed a little strange at some points, and a little like spam for "bayesian predictive models for mathematics placement". Maybe some company has a patent on that?

Whatever. Hoax or no hoax, lots of good stories and good times.
