Yes.

DD, if that happened at my high school, I would have kicked his ass myself.

The guy doesn't deserve to be tops in his class. Anybody that is that anal about grades should have known not to take a class that would only drag down his point average. The time to deal with those kind of issues is BEFORE, not after. He's the fool... and the lawsuit makes him look like a whiner as well

Ming... I bet this dork probably fails out his first year of college when he discovers girls and alcohol.

now now, he's an *******, but why join him in that category?

Sigh that is just asking to be attacked...
Sigh under pressure you can say a lot of stuff

Well, before lashing out at the kid, I would put my money on it that it was ultimately the parents who are behind the lawsuit. Kids who act this anal about grades tend to be under tremendous pressure from their parents to perform well. I remember a girl at my school who got a 97 on a quiz and literally begged the teacher to let her retake the test and try to get a 100 because her parents would ground her for not getting a perfect score on a test.

That's wacked, Boris!

"Weighted grading is messed up. Some classes can earn a 5.0 while others only can get a 4.0."
I thank god that it exists every day. It is the reason I was able to get into college. If my grades hadn't been weighted to take into account the extra work I did, as opposed to students who took easier classes, I would've gotten a 3.1, not a 3.4, and I would NOT be attending the college I am now.

Story reminds me of a guy I went to high school with who I see every two or three years. Each time I see him, he sadly tells the same story about how he missed out on being valedictorian by one point fifteen years ago.

Who gives a ****!

**Charlemagne120** · February 6, 2003, 21:16

Oh my ya im only a sophomore in high school now and the deal is if your grades are good enough and you get the recommendation you take the advanced or AP class if you can. Each one adds points to your overall average and it rewards people who take harder classes compared to those who take blow job classes like ceramics instead of Adv Physics.

**Dauphin** · February 6, 2003, 21:16

I'd like to a see a high school drop out sue for being given a passing grade.

**Kingof the Apes** · February 6, 2003, 21:33

That kid is messed up...I bet the judge will slap him.

**Felch** · February 6, 2003, 22:16

Hey, ceramics isn't a blow job class. Now theater, that's a different story.

No doubt he will be the butt of jokes in his school for a long time to come.
