WORKING HARD IS HARD TO DO: Florida school considers eliminating valedictorian honor.
Connie Boyle, Guidance Counselor commented, "Some of the students are separated by a fraction, fraction of a percentage point, fraction of thousandth percentage point. How fair is that?"
Life is not fair. The other day I was at Starbucks, stopped to pick up some litter and got a parking ticket. Is it fair that I got a parking ticket in the thirty seconds I was performing community service? May I add, after paying $4 for a latte. Okay, so one may argue that if I'm dumb enough to pay $4 for a latte then I deserve the parking ticket, but let's not argue that, eh?
Students work hard and aspire to be their school's valedictorian. We don't need another thing to devalue education.
