Public schools in Nashville have stopped posting honor rolls because to do so might make underachievers feel bad, reports the Associated Press.
After a couple of parents complained that their children might be ridiculed for not making the list, lawyers for the school district said releasing the honor rolls might violate privacy laws.
In an apparent snowball effect, some schools have since put a stop to academic pep rallies and decided not to hang exemplary work in the hallways for fear of embarrassing even more underachievers. There’s even talk to canceling spelling bees.
----You people that actually paid attention in school and worked hard should just be ashamed of yourselves. It's all your fault that so many people can't read or write properly. Don't you know that by paying attention, you made the teacher actually teach? When that happens, those poor souls too busy sleeping or getting high in the bathroom just fall behind. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!
The only way to save the children is to stop teaching right away. That way no one risks falling behind. If everyone would just be illiterate, we could all just get along. But NOOOOOO, some of you just had to be all uppity and snobbish with your learing to read and all............
