8. Oh, that's exactly what some kids need: further validation that they're better than
everyone else. My school didn't do this (thankfully). FWIW- there was one girl who came from a large family of *ahem* "downwardly mobile" people; brothers were bullies with bad grades, trouble with the law, etc. She floated completely under the radar. Well- now she's a Phd doing some kind of cancer reasearch, or some such thing.. nobody would ever have guessed.
