Another thing homeschoolers needn’t worry about!
It's safe to say that most people in Hull agree on at least one thing:
Joanna Frazier and Sharisse Kanet are accomplished, talented students.

From there, things dissolve into the sort of standoff that is increasingly polarizing parents, guidance counselors, and principals here and elsewhere: the valedictorian wars.
The once-easy task of ranking grade point averages and having the top senior deliver the coveted high school commencement
speech is being confounded by outside pressures and heated competition among ambitious teenagers or their equally driven parents.

Hull, the South Shore peninsula town of just three schools and dozens of opinions, finds itself mired in a particularly contentious version of that debate.
Late yesterday, the mother of Kanet, who is spending her senior year enrolled at Wesleyan University in Connecticut,
sued the Hull School Committee for barring her daughter from becoming valedictorian for the class of 2003.
The civil suit was filed in Brockton Superior Court.
Here’s the deal. You give me the #1 Mom mug for Mother’s Day and I’ll make you #1 student. (Just kidding......)
