The retardation of heaping "most likely to succeed" on an 18 year old is astonishing. You have no ability to say that, no ability to measure that, and you produce no positive results by cranking these bullshit declarations out every year.
Yet. They do.
It's not about being "valedictorian." It's about establishing the government fed bullshit pipeline into their heads at an early age. Lying to them actively about the future is a big part of making this happen.
I teach 6th grade and I can with 90% accuracy tell you who will and won't graduate high school, who will and won't be arrested, who will and won't be addicted to street drugs.
I doubt you've measured. I'm willing to bet it's closer to 60%. This is not much better than a coin flip. You make proclamations that appear to have value but don't. This interferes with the lives of children.
You really out here trying to say the chronic delinquent already on his 5th assault, 2nd sexual assault, and dealing and doing drugs in high school student is not going to go to jail. He's just a misunderstood boy and a victim of society and totally not culturally raised to do these things. It's not one in ten that fall into it. It's one in one hundred that escape it. Watch a hip hop music video and tell me these people are being encouraged to escape instead of getting into this lifestyle.
And there's you.. a "teacher".. who just observes this, feels superior that they can observe it, and does nothing but try to "babe ruth" out the bad kids for nothing other than smug self satisfaction.
Then again.. I guess I can be pretty sure that no students of any repute will ever come from your classroom. 90% of teachers with your attitude never produce anything worthwhile.
Well.. if you like your job.. then what do you care what I think about you?

Yes you do.

I hope you keep this all to yourself.
