I LOVE this set up. As a sub. I frequent middle schools (I love sixth grade) and there is a big difference b/t the kids in 6 & 7/8. Keeping 6 and 8th away from each other sounds good to me. But that's just me!
Anyways:
I feel bad for this young lady, she worked hard and did far more than a lot of people could hope for. 3 years or 4 years, whatever. She is in the senior class and she has the highest GPA. I would have thought that would be the basic requirements. Why would they have this rule that essentially can discourage children from excelling to their highest potential? (Although I can't imagine getting out of high school early. I don't even think it was an option at my school...)
