[quote=Anonymous]The tradition at the school is that there are multiple (3-4) student speakers in addition to the official valedictorian. They have always been the few kids who had Straight & Perfect all three years. DD missed out on a number of fun opportunities and more than once went to school under the weather to achieve it. She was told that she was to be a speaker but her punishment was "If you can't listen to someone, no one will listen to you." DH and I don't think that the infraction was worth this punishment but we are not appealing it because we do want her to see that she was wrong to refuse to give up the earbuds. My understanding is that this particular teacher has a reputation for throwing away earbuds she confiscates. Grandma said essentially I don't want you to feel bad on your big day. So, yes, I think DD sees it as a consolation prize. We don't let her have highlights or wear makeup although most of the 8th grade girls seem to at least wear lipgloss. [/quote]
