This stinks--someone I work with daughter finished #1 in her class of 650. She was not the valectorian because this year her school did away with having them because it fosters bad feelings and unhealthy competition--wtf?? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I have a clue, I just don't get the valedictorian thing. sorry, my kids are really young. perhaps I'll feel differently when I'm older.
