"it could get their feelings hurt"...sounds like the principal needs to go back to school. He should have phrased it, "They could have their feelings hurt"

Of course, this is just bullshit. I mean, what's the valedictorian of his school's IQ, anyway? 67? I mean, really!

First of all, how does someone get a GPA of 4.6 - when 4.0 is perfect? Kind of like giving 110% (impossible).

Second, the reason some are worried about abolishing the the valedictorian is that it might set a precident for abolishing the homecoming queen? Oh, that's really important!

Third - who cares if there are hurt feelings? Better get used to it kiddos!

Most schools give extra points for AP courses. (a/k/a college credit courses taken during high school).

0.6 sounds like a lot to me, but it really does vary by school system. My home-town school system gave such a miniscule amount, that it really didn't matter how many AP courses you took. If I remember right, my A in AP Chemistry was worth 4.02 points instead of 4.0. Once you average that in with the rest of your classes, your bonus pretty much disappears.

Well, this just displays the liberal hippyness of the freaking wackos in California.. The Karatie kid needs to pay that guy a visit and give him a Judo Chop! Ok, I don't really know what that means.. Just the karatie kid moved to california, and the school -- in california -- and um.. ok, im gonna go now..
