All these law suits are getting out of hand, but where do you draw the line? Is it even possible?

 

[exp]

I'm only surprised this hasn't happened earlier. I remember all sorts of tightly wound kids like that at my school.

 

[optoman]

This kid needs to get laid. Seriously.

 

[hdeck]

so he went and did the work. since when does just accomplishing the job get you an A+? last i checked it got you a C or a B.

 

[Monel Funkawitz]

It is only a matter of time before legislation is passed to prevent frivilous lawsuits. The lawyers know this.

 

[notfred]

What do you expect from a kid who grew up w/ lawyers as parents?

 

[Antisocial Virge]

Well of course his boss is gonna sy he deserved a A+ since his mom is the boss.

 

[cjchaps]

That kid and his mom both need to get a fricken life.... big time. I thought High School was supposed to be fun

 

[UNCjigga]

This is the kind of kid who'd kill himself if he wasn't valedictorian...I say don't prolong the suffering and get it over with!

 

[CraigRT]

I wouldnt sue over grades.. I'd just set the building on fire.

 

[Cuda1447]

Stupid Lawsuit I agree, but how are you supposed to get an A+? If you do everything your told to do 100% then you deserve an A+. He is going for valedictorian, which is a big deal. Why can't the school just give him what he deserves? Geez. Although I don't think kids who take "screw-off" classes like him deserve to be Valedictorian.

 

[exp]

I'm filing a countersuit alleging that he is stealing valuable oxygen meant for those of us without enormous rods up our bungholes.

IMO A+ means you went beyond the just doing the required work.

Since when does doing just the required work means you get an A+?

Exactly. What happened to C meaning "Average," B meaning "Above Average" and A meaning "Exceptional?"
I graduated HS in 1997. I was an A/B student. I was not a straight-A student. They told me I was an above-average student, and my grades seemed to reflect this accurately.
Now everyone seems to think everyone should get As. We have screwed up somewhere....

In other news, there was a girl in my high school who was like this. She'd push her grandmother down a flight of steps if it gave her another tenth of a point. I used to joke with her that she could give me 5 points and we'd both have an A then.

I graduated 14th in my class of about 160. She graduated 1st. We went to the same state college and received the same amount in merit-based scholarship money.

So what was the point of all that fighting to be #1?

The girl who graduated #2 really burned her up. That girl really was brilliant....biggest slacker next to me, yet she always pulled straight As. She never bothered to fight for that tenth of a point.

She got a pretty hefty scholarship to MIT.
