[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does St. Louis publish their honor roll?[/quote]

Of course.  All normal schools do. There’s no point in a secret HONOR roll. It’s a contradiction in terms.

The only schools that don’t publish it are those with whiney Karen big-donor parents whose kids didn’t make it. [/quote]
Our school (SSSAS) does not. I believe the kids are acknowledged in the in-school awards gathering where they also do book awards and other subject-specific honors, but parents don’t attend that and it isn’t emailed out. Somehow we all survive.

But this discussion has made it clear who the whiny Karen is. Do you own any mirrors?[/quote]

They don’t publish the honor roll? They just ANNOUNCE it to the entire student body during an in-person assembly? Ok - got it. I think you proved the point.

Don’t fret — I’m sure that eventually, some whiney Karens will convince the principal to cease that “unfair” practice. Then you can come back here and tell everyone how common/normal it is to honor achievements *in secret* so that nobody else knows about it except the recipient. [/quote]
Oh sorry, I misunderstood your demands for an emailed list to be published so that all the parents who get the emails would know your kid is smart. The in school announcement doesn’t do that. My kid hated having their name called in public and couldn’t remember whether any of their friends were called for anything, so I have no more awareness of the results of my school’s list than you do of yours. The kids don’t care. I’d wager that YOUR kid doesn’t care, or didn’t before you amped them up. You, however, seem to care quite a bit. [/quote]
