YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers (both valedictorians themselves) discuss high school valedictorians - and how their personal experiences influence their thinking on this.
Sarah was one of FOUR co-valedictorians at her school, while Beth was the sole valedictorian at hers. But here's Beth's stunning confession: "My life is not better because I was a valedictorian. It might've been worse."
What they discuss:
The "game" of weighted grades and AP courses
Why Beth threw up every day of her senior year of college
A study showing 81 valedictorians achieved career success but ZERO changed the world
How academic gatekeeping is failing our kids
The difference between performance and actual learning
Why grades should only be about "options, not identity"
