<p>I'm a palm beach county high school student who was shocked to see this in the palm beach post!!! Their arguement is horrible!!! The wine tasting class is not permitted so it would be the guidance counselor's and parents' fault. Also the magnet students getting a higher rank is logical also. They took the classes and the other students could easily take as many classes on Florida Virtual School if they wanted. Of course the race for val/sal is going to be fierce!! By nature, we're competitive so I find the cum laude system horrible and if they attempt to put it in effect there will be some conflict going on based on illogical reasoning and frustrated parents. The Palm beach Post even said how crazy these parents are down here :D.</p>
