Well, since we are derailing, let me chime in. Nothing is as bad as this:
Florida school with 25 Valedictorians
I guess this whole "well they all tied with their 4.0" confuses me. My high school used a 4.0 scale, but when it came time to differentiate the 30 or so of us with 4.0s they used our numerical averages. Is that not commonplace? I can assure you that some of those kids earned their A's with high 90s while others slipped in with their 90-92s.

David Ellers, the district's executive director of secondary education, said the committee learned that the number of valedictorians is not a concern among principals. What is a problem is the perception that all of them deserve to speak at the graduation ceremony.

Yep. Everyone thinks they are special.
