And do you have some proof to back this up?
My father taught for 30 years and just retired. I watched the crap he went through both at the school and in the local paper from attitudes like this. Even after that amount of time the paycheck he got wasnt anything higher then a middle class income. I love people who rail on teachers like they're being paid millions. Starting pay is crap in Massachusetts, and most schools are forcing veterns into retirement so they can replace them with cheaper rookies outta college.

The associaton prolly had jack to do with this girls diploma. Most likely it was a knee jerk reaction from an adminstrator. I should know; i was suspended my junior year for writing a scathing email from home to friends about a new teacher i had and after the aclu showed up they had to remove the suspensiion from my record.

"they are just showing everyone what the students have been living with."
great observation.
They proved her point for her if anyone had any doubts.

The Principal of the school should be fired.

they witheld her diploma?


HO HO. I think she just got herself a 'scholarship' up to her PHD with the money she can (and i think she should) sue out of the school.

And I agree, ,she DID understand the concept of timing very well. What she did may very well play a big role towards fixing the problems in her school.

As the Valedictorian she no doubt understands the value of hard work and appreciates the opportunities available to those who apply themselves. She probably is a conservative.

't would have gone well with your response above. And I'm used to you posting pictures of hitler with most subjects now...

I could understand your skepticism MT if it was the New York Times that reported this story but it was the New York Daily News.

I would agree, number 1 she may be the valedictorian but look at the field for a measure of the competition.  secondly she's from the people's republic of new york a bastion of liberalism these people find no fault with each other not any that would be aired publically.  not a true story I'm sure.
