having grades in high school is wild. death to america
You’d probably hear more about material conditions like poverty, an unstable home, or lack of accommodations at school, so they’d never do it.
But having a time slot dedicated to one person who made it to the top is an early part of capitalist myth making. They want a justification of the status quo, not its condemnation.
Being real how many teenagers are able to articulate this? The idea that material reality has a measurable effect on people isn’t even accepted in most of the USA. The lie of “work hard for good results, people deserve their place in the hierarchy” still has most adults fooled.
This is a thing?
American schools are weird
It can be worse. Sometimes they honor and give recognition to students who will join the military after graduation. Or at least they did at mine.
Death to america
Is that…the nostalgia critic?
yeah it’s big nerd bragging rights to be selected as valedictorian
Big weird
50/50 on being an insane unhinged trauma dump or speech about how socializing and having fun is more important than studying and good grades
I don’t think it would be unhinged so much as an act of catharsis by giving a neglected student a microphone to explain how the system failed them. But yeah, some students get there with no regrets.
presentation on how to perform various cod zombies easter eggs
It would arguably be a better speech too
Probably hear less about Harry Potter and other vapid bullshit. (Yes, one at my college actually mentioned JKR and HP)
I bet they wouldn’t spend the entire time jacking their ego off and then listing their entire family tree
Honestly if the speech was mandatory jacking off it would be waaaaaay more interesting.
these are high school students
Oh, oops. I should probably delete this.
High school graduates. Most are 18.
The only discernable difference between educated liberals and uneducated ones is that the uneducated ones are worse at hiding their hate and ignorance.
to those of us who this would have been, im curious what your speech would have said
mine would have just been “many of you dont know me” and then i walk off
keep em guessing
I would have just quoted StarCraft Brood war
would’ve been my chance
me with a 52-6% average passing all classes for most of highschool
