If you're a valedictorian, congrats, but big fricking deal. It's high school.
Yeah but can't you use that to help get more scholarships for college?

Just heard a report on WWL radio that there is a push to stop naming valedictorians because it hurts a culture of inclusion! WTF, so by working hard and separating yourself from the masses is now bad and hurts the feelings of others. When will the craziness stop?
Well first of all, we can start by actually reading whole articles again. Who wants to eliminate valedictorians? If it's just some dumbass HuffPo contributor, who the hell cares?

What's your issue?
I'm sorry, I thought that was pretty clear. My issue is using GPA to determine class rank, which can determine automatic acceptance into a university, when the potential difference between being in the top 10% of your class can be a thousandth of a point on your GPA.

What would you rather use? Feelings? A chart of golden stars?

Were you a valedictorian? Depending on where you apply for college, this may automatically get you a scholarship.
ETA: I do agree that the cum laude is an ideal scenario
