At least this is a step in the right direction.

Prepare them for the real world, where kissing arse gets you better placement and actual accomplishments are called just doing your job.

Why strive to be the best when you can be average and get by with minimal effort?

We're going to start losing in the Olympics if we let crap like this continue to happen.

Good. It was completely unnecessary and taught a terrible lesson. I mean really, name one situation where striving to be the best could help you in life.

This is really going to help them when they get to law school and find out what competitive culture means.

I’m sure all 3,500 high schools students care so much about the competition for valedictorian, that it’ll have a positive impact on them immediately.
