<p>If your top choice is really that important to you I think you should turn him in. Don’t let the opinions of your classmates stop you from reaching your full potential and living out your dream to be the high school valedictorian and going to your top choice college. </p>
<p>Try waiting out to see how the test results are or do it before. If your peers can’t realize that there’s something wrong with a cheater getting the top spot and not the person that has been working hard for it, there’s seriously something wrong with that. Anyway, does it have to be a public announcement? Does your school allow you to make private reports or can you e-mail a counselor about your concerns. It may be wiser to seek the advise of a teacher who knows how everything works rather than the sarcastic teenagers that seem to be on your thread.</p>
<p>I can report a private report but iam sure eventually everyone will know that I wrote it, I know they will . At our school, everybody knows everything.</p>
<p>Again, I have no proof except for his confession, and he’ll probablly deny it.</p>
<p>I think I’ll go to my math teacher tomorrow and see how things go, he’ll understand , he really is great. </p>
<p>I don’t think it’s worth it to be valedictorian if everyone, or nearly everyone, alienates you. Trust me, you would be much happier being salutatorian, who still gives a speech at graduation (in my school at least), then being valedictorian with everyone resenting you and criticizing you for “snitching” only so you can be number 1. It sucks, but that’s the way things work with students.</p>
<p>this OP is mad. how in someone’s sanity can expose his “classmate” with him he has a “good relationship” just because he is getting the position of salutatorian and not valedictorian. and stop behaving like the most truthful person in the world. we all know you are as human as we all are. change your principles when you still have got time. with such an outlook you are in no way gonna make some nice trusting friends.
and in any case ive never heard of any college discriminating between a valedictorian and a salutatorian unless there are only 10 students in your class.
sorry if i sound rude, cause i wanted to be rude.</p>
<p>Perhaps you haven’t accomplished enough to qualify as valedictorian or salutatorian yourself? You want to have a few friends, so you give up a possible chance at Ivy League? Do the “right” thing and give everybody a break.</p>
<p>A post like yours is truly humiliating in every sense.</p>
<p>Sorry if I sound rude; I wanted to be rude.</p>
<p>You could always snitch in a way that would protect your anonymity… lol.</p>
<p>Not saying it’s exactly the right thing to do, but if this would knock you down to salutatorian, then I think telling the teacher would be justified. The guy is objectively wrong.</p>
<p>It appears to me that I should have never started this thread. Iam being constantly attacked just because Iam demanding my right. Yes maybe college will not care if iam the valedictorian or the salutatorian, they will both look the same on the college app, BUT I do care, this is my right, I worked very hard to get it and I can’t allow a person to come and just steal from me without really earning it. Call it arrogance or whatever you want, you don’t know me so I don’t care what you think, but please be reasonable and don’t make judges about a person before you meet him. </p>
<p>And no, the salutatorian at my school does not get the chance to deliver a speech. </p>
<p>The guy cheeted from papers.</p>
<p>And I did go to my math teacher and explained the whole situation to him and he said that " he’s sorry because even if what Iam saying is true, he can’t do much about it because I have no evidence , But he promised he will talk to the management about this and we’ll see how things go " .</p>
<p>To be quite honest, this seems very far-fetched. So someone who you are competing with CAME UP to you and TOLD you he cheated. Either that guy is pretty dim in the end or you’re making it up. If someone cheated, they would most likely keep it to themselves. Just my two cents…</p>
<p>@CErnie to answer your question im now in my junior year and in all probability ill be the valedictorian in my year. so what? should i give up all my friends, forfeit the friendship we have developed throughout these 10 years? should i take up an all-knowing attitude, depict myself as the follower of Truth itself? ask your conscience, is it right? if your answer is yes, then none of us can further help you, you are on your own now. if it is no, then follow your heart. </p>
<p>to be honest, i dont give a damn if im a valedictorian or salutatorian or nothing at all. if im gonna get accepted into the ivies it will be not because im the valedictorian or salutatorian but for who i am. by betraying a friendship for matters as trivial as these, you maybe successful in life, but never satisfied.</p>
<p>and yes @FreedomEagle i may not “know you in person”, but im being perfectly “reasonable”.</p>
<p>now you may ask a moderator to close this thread.</p>
<p>listen up. i cherish dreams of joining ivies as much as you do. but ivies arent the end of the world, are they? at least not for me. so what if dont get into any ivy? at least ill have some friends who will support me. and if you do get in by the process you mentioned, what happens? you go to the best institute in the world by creating a reputation of the most heartless person in the world. but by just seeing your style, i bet youll still choose the second method. good luck to you for joining an ivy. and best of luck for your entire life ahead.</p>
<p>I bet everyone who is against eagle Is also a Cheater that has little morals. That’s pathetic and sad that ppl have to cheat, means they’re not smart/ confident etc. eagle if I were you I would be so ****ed I would be tempted to call him out on his cheating I deserved the best grade</p>
