NO HONOR FOR STUDENT

What do you do to be an honor student at graduation? My daughter attended CDI Career Education School for nine months and made eight ``A's,'' eight ``B's'' and one ``C.'' When time came for graduation, she was told she wasn't an honor student. It really hurt her and she said it was a waste of her time trying so hard to do good.

She has lost the incentive to go further because it might happen again. If the grade-point system is different from any other school, it should be known before the student signs the paper to attend. I wish something could be done about it. I will make sure that no other member of my family will go there.
