I’m not talking about the top students at each school which I’m obviously not. I’m talking about b students at easier and harder schools. I’m not saying I have an excuse but why should I be penalized when people at other schools in our general area can easily maintain a b and be in the top half. At our school the people who get the 4.0/3.9 are extremely dedicated students who really don’t seem to do much more. I’m not saying I’m not dedicated. The ranks are decided by like a hundredth. There is a standard and I think a b is at least meeting the standard at our school. So again why am I penalized when other schools have lower standards where there are many people getting C’s and D’s and the people who get B’s are ranked higher in their school than I am at mine.
