<p>check it out, one high school as 44 valectictorians....egad</p>
<p>Oh shiznat!!!!</p>
<p>Even before looking at that, I knew it was GHS. -_-;</p>
<p>How can anyone call that the product of more smart, hard-working kids in an encouraging school? I bet the school uses unweighted GPA, since I doubt all of the students took the same numbers of honors/APs. Nevertheless, grade inflation is probably present.</p>
<p>and they are all suppose to give a speech?! wow.....glad i m not in that school...</p>
<p>"Skeptics say that so many students with perfect 4.0 GPAs is evidence of grade inflation; admirers say it's the product of smart, hard-working students at a school that encourages academic success."</p>
<p>Dear Admin People: I was valedictorian!!!! Oh yeah, and so was suzzy, beckky,. Tomm, Fred, Tonay and......</p>
<p>With all those AP classes, it will be the test scores that provide an answer of either grade inflation or just perfect children</p>
<p>I highly doubt all of them gave a speech.
The whole idea of numerous valedictorians defeats the entire point. The Valedictorian is the one who gives the valedictory speech....</p>
<p>the article said that a proposal to have just 2 vals give a speech was rejected by students, and that each val who wanted to would give a "brief, inspirational quote" in lieu of a speech.</p>
