Selfish, whiny girl sues school to be named sole valedictorian

[St Leo]

(who was still an *******)

Eunuch? Oh, rear...

[Q Classic]

aw, hell. let's just get rid of the public school system anyway. if it's not one ******* suing it for valedictorianness, it's another about the pledge, another about creationism vs evolution, another about the lack of spirit in the black history month celebrations, another about having to read cold sassy tree, another about not being given yadayadayada...

it's a money losing enterprise. people like that should be sent to private school that matches their beliefs. oy.

and i'm not really serious about that...

[Arrian]

Wow, what a *****. She doesn't need a kick in the ass. She needs to get laid.

I don't recall Valedictorian being a big deal at my HS. I haven't the foggiest who it was, and most likely didn't know at the time (7yrs ago).

Poor one I hope she didn't have it serious. I still remmember how ugly it was on shool with this, in country that doesn't force teachers to behave. Offences discriminations and falsifications of exams. They really tried to kick me out, because they liked normal students, not talented ones with slignt health problems. If I'd sued them I wouldn't be poor today. So she probably did right thing. They would pay her back for sure, but she will learn at least little from law system. Some people with diploma don't understand anything else than being sued or worse. Now I'm independent game developer specialist on AI and some other hard to come things. I wouldn't be if I'd sue them because I wold be alowed to go on Uni get red diploma and possibly normal work or invalid rent.

I however argree that we should get rid of school system, because it will teach students only noninteresting things like go to shool you crippled bastard, or repeat this sentece like is writen in textbook, we don't care it is wrong. It is in the textbook so it must be true.




BTW what is a valedictorian? salutatorian?

i say we take her off her meds on sneeze on her.

She would probably survive it. These problems are geting worse later. BTW I think I could make simillar sentence with words Bush and "bulet", but I think mods would dislike it a lot.

[St Leo]

Seriously, what's with all the pent-up agression in this thread. Yes, she's being a bit of a jerk, but that's no reason to have a virtual stoning. All of you people need to chill out.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Yah, I kinda agree St. Leo. I can SEE where she is coming from, even if I think she's being an idiot. I mean, she thought she was sole validictorian. She probably told everyone. And then the school board says because of her cirriculum, she has to share it. That would make me pissed.

But I still think she should lose .

If this girl was a guy, I'd say to give him a good ass-kicking.

Hopefully everyone will boo her at graduation and make fun of her for the rest of the year. If they made her cry every day I wouldn't feel sorry for her.

What a *****.

Whiny kids need ass kickings - if their parents won't do it, that is. Corporal punishment (by parents, at least)

A person with a decent solid self esteem wouldn't care about such things.

Best point of the thread. If you're not enough without it, you're not going to be enough with it.

They should do what my school does, turn the Valedictorian into a more subjective enterprise, by having the Valedictorian makes speeches as well as meeting a certain minimum in grades.

[Dr Strangelove]

I earned the top grades of my medical school class, yet I was not selected to be the valedictorian because for two years I had been a faculty member as well as a student, and had been excused from taking certain classes (my own). I didn't complain at all.

Still, if the school did indeed decide to have two valedictorians this year solely because she's disabled, then I can see her point. I think that I would sue only gor an apology and court costs, though. There might also be a question however as to whether the school excused her from the usual requirements needed to be named valedictorian, and whether these exceptions were substantially unfair to the other students.

[David Floyd]

If she is disabled, and thus judged by a different standard/allowed to take honor's classes rather than PE, she should be automatically disqualified from being valedictorian. If she can't play by everyone else's rules, why should everyone else be punished by her special rules? I'm sorry she's disabled, certainly, but that's not anyone else's fault.

[Dr Strangelove]

Why not just compute the GPAs of the students competing with her disregarding the subjects she was excused from due to her illness and then see who comes out with the highest score?

I still expect that the crux of the controversy as the school saw it was probably more than her just being excused from PE, but that she evidently was tutored at home for the better part of the last two years.
