I read that article this morning... the kid's mom is a lawyer... was just too convenient for them. You should read the Yahoo replies to this article...

 

[brtspears2]

Haha, "work experience" class. I guess the first lesson he learns in work is that nothing is fair.

 

[SaltBoy]

yup... repost. but the original title wasn't descriptive enough. It was something like "This is the definition of lameness."

 

[geno]

what an assclown...

 

[Deeko]

retarded.

 

[xuanman]

there was a similar situation when i was in high school. some people are just weird like that.

I'd tell him to go play "Hide and go *&%# yourself"

**I remember that from some movie...just can't recall right now**

What a monumental waste of taxpayer's money.

Actually, if you READ the article you'll see he got a perfect score in his old schools system, but when that was converted to the new school his 100% somehow became a 93%.

The problem was not the score itself, but the way it was converted between school systems.

I'd give him an F for being a whiny little b1tch

 

[GoingUp]

This is exactly why I hate lawyers

And this justifies a lawsuit costing taxpayers money and time of these employees? Please.

Nice work. I don't agree with sueing, but I do think that school should be reasonable and give this kid his 100%

 

[BooneRebel]

Let's think this though:

He's suing the school to increase his odds of getting valedictorian

Presumably to make him more attractive to colleges, right?

What college board in their right mind is going to recruit a student with habit of suing schools?

The one that doesn't want to get sued for not accepting him.

*shrug*

He feels he has been wronged, he has the right to seek redress in the court system. Or would you prefer he just took a gun to school?

What is he supposed to do, get screwed over by stupid school policy?

or they could tell him that he's now learned his first lesson for college:

"You never get all of your credits transferred. ever."

//still bitter about those damn second language credits...

Wasn't that from a comedy clip called "The F-Word" ?

I saw no mention in the article of him attempting to use the school system to get it changed. It looked like he went straight to the courts. Maybe there is a proceedure in the school system that he could have gone thru first. Maybe he did, I didn't see anything about it though.
