<p>So a student decides that he/she wants to be val and works his/her bu** off for 4 years. Why does this offend some people? I know students who set a goal such a winning Districts in a track event /all state chorus/going to nationals in debate, etc. These students worked hard and met their goal and everyone is excited for them. </p>
<p>So it’s OK that D worked hard to make Dance team, but not OK that she worked hard to be in the top 10 in her class? I don’t get it.</p>
