Was the Higgs Boson disproved?

Apparently, by 8-year-old daughter's teacher told her that the Higgs Boson had been a miscalculation. I've searched for any sort of reference to this and can't find anything about a Higgs Boson miscalcuation. I want to make sure to give my daughter the right information, so...does anyone know what the heck this guy was talking about?

Maybe the teacher is confusing it with another recent result from CERN, about the neutrinos allegedly moving faster-than-light. _That_ result was incorrect (although an experimental error, not a miscalculation). But that result was unexpected and not generally thought to be correct in the first place, while the Higgs discovery amounted to finding a particle right around where it was expected to be found. (and there was no _single_ calculation predicting the Higgs, but actually a wide variety of them)
