Glad my kid is out of High School
The school honor roll, a time-honored system for rewarding A-students, has become an apparent source of embarrassment for some underachievers.From the Las Vegas Sun.As a result, all Nashville schools have stopped posting honor rolls, and some are also considering a ban on hanging good work in the hallways - all at the advice of school lawyers.
After a few parents complained their children might be ridiculed for not making the list, Nashville school system lawyers warned that state privacy laws forbid releasing any academic information, good or bad, without permission.
Hat tip to Joanne Jacobs, who always has great information on education.
