"But she's a honor student" rant - Missing girl in Aruba

Edited on Mon Jun-13-05 11:37 AM by NYCparalegal
It really peeves me off when the missing girl in Aruba (or anyone else, for that matter) is described as an A-student (or honor student).

So what? What does that have to do with her disappearance? Does it mean only C students can be victims of bad judgment or a crime?

And I'm extremely pissed off when I hear about how saintly and A-student-like she is... The hard and sad truth is that she, like many other 18 year olds without parental supervision, got drunk and, in her diminished capacity, was hanging out with unsavory characters and who knows what else... What may have happened to her is not a consequence or a cause of her stupendous grades. So, always indicating that she is a honor student serves no purpose whatsoever.

:rant:

Ok, I feel much better now!
