Default Re: I met a girl last night, she is a high school senior

As others have stated, the real disappointment should be in the system and her parents.

The system is set up pretty poorly when an A in English is worth the same as an A in AP English.

It's the duty of her parents to prepare her to be successful in life. They should be pushing her to achieve her potential.

Those saying the valedictorian should be chosen by the students because their only responsibility is to give a speech are ignoring the boost they get on their college and scholarship applications by receiving that accolade.
