<p>Ecstatic? Did you mean to Gryffon’s 48th post? </p>
<p>I’m sure anyone teaching at a school with a 10% college rate would be happy when a student goes to college, let alone an Ivy league school.</p>
<p>You don’t have to resort to lawyers… yet. Just get your point across to the school and mention that you might escalate it to higher people (if it applies)/consult a lawyer (even if that isn’t a viable option right now) if they don’t cooperate. The possibility of a huge scandal might just be enough for them to change their minds. (My district has this “image” they’re trying to form so they go to great lengths to preserve it.)</p>
<p>By the way, I wasn’t really kidding about the local news investigators. I don’t know about yours but mine are pretty great. They handle all sorts of things, like the whole Kwame Kilpatrick scandal to local companies who price gouge. They’re great because they can get a story out of it, you get your grade fixed, and the school’s reputation can get partially saved by the news attributing it to just a “clerical error” or something like that. (Of coarse, I’d save this option as a last resort)</p>
