Give them all A's AAAAA. Education Admin puts Nix on Valedictorian - from Latin origins to"say farewell"
Half of high schools do away with class rankings 'so as not to destroy teens' confidence' - with one school having as many as 48 valedictorians
During the past decade, schools around the country have stopped numbering students from valedictorian on down
Instead, they've adopted honors that recognize everyone who scores at a certain threshold - by having multiple valedictorians
Administrators worry about the college prospects of students separated by large differences in class rank despite small differences in their GPAs
There are also concerns about intense, potentially unhealthy competition and students letting worries about rank drive their course selection.
This philosophy of "everyone's a winner and nobody's efforts, talents or abilities have greater value then anybody else's " has followed these students from K through 12
