ChuCK's Words of Wisdom

If you thought you were, you might have actually been. Problem being, if you were unaware if you were while you were, then knowing that you were in fact really that way is a moot point. Unless you knew you were the whole time, then you would be an ego-bag.

I'm sorry your TOO smart for us...

I have heard of some pretty damn stupid people in high schools, but you don't normally associate that with the staff and policies... well, sometimes, but that's beside the point. There is a young lady who is graduating high school early with a damn 5.898 GPA! What makes the story so odd? Even though she has the highest GPA, they won't award her valedictorian... whaaaat?

Grapevine High School senior Anjali Datta holds the highest grade point average of the 471 students graduating from Grapevine High School this year. In fact, Grapevine-Colleyville ISD officials believe her GPA of 5.898 may be the highest in the high school’s history.Her closest competitor’s GPA is 5.64. No one disputes that she’s the top student in her class numerically. The problem rests with another number entirely. Anjali rocketed through high school in only three years. But a school district policy states: “the valedictorian shall be the eligible student with the highest weighted grade point average for four years of high school.”

Yup, looks like we are going to have to award Grapevine-Colleyville ISD a dumbass award...
