The principal makes an arbitrary decision based on very little research and gets slammed for it. Hot dog!!
Earning a grade point average above 4.0?
That’s just 110% wrong!
I think what she means is that next year, everyone will be wearing white.
WHAT?!? PC is going to be the death of us all.
Diane, you over-educated but still ignorant tw@t!
God forbid we publically recognize the students that went above and beyond. Doing so would only make the dregs and ne’er do wells loathe themselves even more.
Well then, Diane Honey, you should just be called TEACHER DIANE instead of PRINCIPAL DIANE!! You EARNED the PRINCIPAL TITLE and yet you DENY the Title of VALEDICTORIAN and SALUTATORIAN to others who EARNED those TITLES.
TEACHER DIANE......how does that feel??
I know, why do otherwise intelligent people talk this way? They all sound like that guy, Professor Irwin Corey? mocking edu-bable. If they think this sounds coherent maybe they are stupid.
Did I read that right? Taking a “Global approach” to a HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION?
I may puke.
We use to have the girls wear white and the boys wore green.
Because of lawsuits and threats of them (not at our school, but around the country) we changed it so that everyone wears green now.
Precisely! She won't let this go. She can't. Her mental disease caused by liberalism won't let her.
I bet they no longer have a valedictorian and salutatorian for each graduating class because they are deathly afraid of hurting the student's ever so delicate self esteem.

This is becoming very common. I don’t like it either. This link below is at a good public high school that sends a lot of students to really good schools.
It kind of depends what their intention is. If theyre trying to shield kids from competition, thats kind of pointless. Most of these kids are going to have to deal with very demanding competition their entire lives, Femec said.

When you have 23 students with perfect 4.0 or higher, how do you decide who is first or second? When I graduated from high school, our GPA’s were calculated to 3 decimal points out of 100%. The highest girl had a 96.663% and the highest boy (me) had a 96.660%.
The link above is interesting because Canandaigua used to have a tough-ass principal. He ran a really tight ship. No hats in schools. No politically correct BS. He retired about 8-10 years ago. The school is still very good but it’s a much looser ship. I suppose that goes for most high schools compared to 10 years ago. Canandaigua’s sent a lot of kids to the service academies. I know one of its lacrosse players is going to Harvard next year.
Don't forget the corresponding pay grade adjustment.
BINGO! Check please.
If everyone is singled out for honor, then no one is really honored.
The ones who really tried are already getting their public acknowledgement, it’s called THE GRADUATION CEREMONY.
If you strive to achieve and do well, be warned you will be punished. How dare you think you can do better than anyone else!
