Simply getting A's does not make one a star student.
Not getting A's precludes one from such recognition!

:dohNo. Treating everyone the same is not the same as treating every equally. There is a difference. Students should be given consideration for things they do and their achievements, or even just family issues that can legitimately be seen as a reason to be out of school. So long as these things are not negatively affecting their actual learning, then these should be considerations made.
Ahh! So you can't show the school declared her a star student. Good to know.Maybe you can find where i said they declared her a star student? Otherwise, do try and make a relevant point!
iLOL :dohKids are at school for one reason. That is to learn.
A star student is someone that gets A's. There is no other measure.
Prove it.Not getting A's precludes one from such recognition!
In this case, she doesn't deserve to be treated any differently than any other student. Nor should any student be treated differently.
Of course it was. Great as well as succinct.Great argument :roll:
Prove it.
with a power shot
:doh :lamoAbsolutism is a foundation of authoritarian thought (is this an oxymoron?).
Many children have disabilities that prevent them from behaving/performing/comprehending like most other students. Should a child who cannot walk be constrained to the same physical education requirements that exist in virtually all schools?
Of course not! But if i didn't take swimming in high school, i didn't graduate.
Ahh! So you can't show the school declared her a star student. Good to know.
No. What you have said is. You can't prove what a star student is.I don't have to!
Your post is referred to as fallacy.
:doh
Just stop. You are arguing what "should be" and such considerations apply to all, and are given to all equally if they qualify.

You ignore the portion of the quote which already addresses your comment.
"You are arguing what "should be" and such considerations apply to all, and are given to all equally if they qualify."
Yes, I know. Your fault for not paying attention.

You can't prove what a star student is.
When I was a kid in school, there was another grade, called citizenship. If you acted like a jerk, it was reflected in your grade.
iLOLOther students with something similar going on should have been given the same considerations and had their absences excused for those reasons.
Nothing but your personal opinion. No valid academic purpose is served by it.I don't care if it was to go to some sports competition, so long as they are keeping up with their academic requirements, it is a legitimate event, and they are not a discipline problem at the school, then they should be excused for absences like these.
They shouldn't be excused as no valid academic purpose is served by it.Learning should come first, but if they are proving they are learning without having to be in the classroom every single day they aren't dying sick, then there is no reason not to excuse their absences.
That would be yours, as the school did not say she was a star student.Your comment still is inherently short-sighted.
You don't need to tell us, but please let everybody know when you are finally done doing so.As stated, China needs disciplined factory workers. Time to grow up.
