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

Bench all those rapping athletes with the multiple pierced brain stems and amazing playing skills.
Don't you love the elitist's complete hypocrisy?
I hate their rants of equality that is so fake.
PC is a disaster that they make.
I would sit them down in the summer sun to bake!
Otherwise, YOU'RE BEING SO MEAN!
WAAAAAAAH!
This is providing they are not wearing masks.
Masks make the little babies brave.
If there is a lot of them and they are wearing masks, I would advise you have head protection and at least a baseball bat if you want to say that.

Hence my thought about needing head protection around upset snowflakes.
Head strikes can also come from behind your back in crowded places.
Heck, attacks from behind can come in parking lots as well as lonely places.
I always try to watch my back while loading groceries or at an ATM.

Now being an old retired fatty who limps along makes me feel more like a potential target.
Perhaps we should learn about life from the little children, who are actively involved in trying to make sense of it all, rather than from our old contemporaries, who often have simply given up.
The Anti -Education schools would not want their students to value it.
I tell them that no one can take away knowledge from them and nothing is more important or has more value to them than the knowledge in their brain.
So if student a took 4 advanced classes and got an 'A' in all of them they would have a 5.0 average, if another student took the same 4 classes and also got an A in them, BUT also took a theater class or music, they would get a 4.8.
So, which student deserves the higher ranking?
One "number" is rarely a completely fair way to judge.
The student has to make a decision assuming he knows the rules: do I want the number to be the highest or do I want to take a class that is better for me?
In our class the top 5 students by score were guys, and the one of them ranked 3rd had won local honors with the highest SAT scores. The administration decided that he shouldn't be one of the 4 valedictorians because it wasn't fair to the 6th ranked girl... and he had already had enough honors in the view of the mediocre average-IQ administrators. So she replaced the student with the top SAT score, and at the time of graduation he also had the highest grade point average (Including all the advanced level courses available), while she had fallen to 7th behind 6 boys. So the top student by both methods of grading was excluded from the honor due to jealousy and bias by the school administration.
Last I heard she was working in a liberal college outside LA, California (how appropriate) and he had his own consulting business.
A healthy competition.
hated school, and wanted it to be over with. I did
reasonably well myself, but thought a lot of the grading was unfair, being, in many cases, subjective. I was just glad to get out.--But this kind of thing, of not wanting to have any distinctions of ability or performance, is just the way things have been going for a long time in this country, in school performance and job performance, too.
