This is stupid!
Back in the day when I was in junior high and high school, not only did they post the first and second honor roll on the bulletin board in the hallway, they actually PUBLISHED THEM IN THE NEWSPAPERS! Oh, the horror!
I mostly made first honors. When I "only" made second honors, I didn't cry to my mommy and daddy and ask them to sue the school district for the humiliation (they're both public school teachers and probably would have laughed long and hard if I suggested such a thing.
), I started studying harder so I could make it back to first honors.
I have it! Let's just abolish bad grades altogether! Everyone gets an A!
Seriously, I am just waiting for some school to abolish honors classes because having them might upset people whose kids can't get into honors classes.
