: The school justified it by saying it would motivate kids to go to college or die in a foriegn country for a cause they don't believe in. NEAT.
I'd like to see the interoffice memorandum explaining THAT one. How are either going to college or being in the military the only ways to become productive members of society? Christ, most colleges are set up so that if you sit on your ass long enough and take a bunch of multiple choice tests, you get a piece of paper saying you graduated. All you really have to do is show up.
: ALSO, in california, they are trying to do away with class rankings and the valedictorian because it hurts dumb kids self esteem.
See, that doesn't make much sense. I would think the dumb kids would be the kids with the MOST self-esteem, because they have no idea when someone else is making fun of them. Therefore, if you're not smart enough to get it, it can't hurt your fragile little feelings, right?
I say, "fuck the dumb kids" too.
