 I'm confused.  why would your principal want to delete or abolish the
class rank?  Isn't this used in college acceptance? Scholarchips etc. ask
for this information, do they not?  Is this coming from confidentiality
of records?  Will we be able to keep records of any kind?  Next it will
be GPA's. Will we enter college on a equal basis?  He who pays can go,
nevermind if he has the potential?
