Fezmid Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Figured people might find this story interesting. High school girl is complaining because she's not #1 in the class -- she took band while another student took something harder, giving that person a higher weighted average. The response? It's not fair - we should be allowed to have multiple valedictorians, why should it be limited to only 1?! http://www.startribune.com/local/west/200542901.html
dayman Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) When i was in high school our valedictorian had, literally, an impossibly high gpa. He came from another school that had a program our school does not have and thus his gpa was actually higher than was even possible for anyone who spent all 4 years at our school. Is that fair? No. Does anyone cry for someone who is near the top of class but doesn't get a meaningless honor? No Edited March 29, 2013 by SameOldBills
