Memo to self...DO NOT HIRE. Needs to be coddled. Won't take responsibility for herself. Did not use unlimited available resources."
What a sense of self-entitlement. How absolutely pathetic. But, unfortunately, so typical these days.
“Manuel Rubio, a spokesman for the Sweetwater Union High School District, told the San Diego Union-Tribune that Buhr’s speech deviated from the pre-approved version submitted before the graduation ceremony.”
Well, gosh darn.
Listening to the speech, did she say she needed help with work permits?
“A piss poor guidance counselor can certainly mean students lose out on valuable opportunities.”
Understatement of the last century: I missed out on the Air Force Academy for that very reason.
Hey, she is right. School workers are, in many cases, lame. They are paid well to help students. And some of them suck. Its ok for a student to point out that public employees with guaranteed jobs and pensions don’t always produce as well as their guaranteed jobs would suggest. This kid is not owed a perfect education. But the public employees are not owed a job or pension when they fail so badly.
I agree with you....notice in the speech it was all me me me....if she had framed it outside herself to her fellow students not getting the attention they needed I night be sympathetic but her speech was all about herself no one else. A valedictorian is picked to represent the whole student body not just themselves. they are picked because they are the brightest and are thought to be able to voice the rest of the student bodies dreams and asperations.
Is it up to the school to look for scholarships?
Can’t she search on her own?
More entitlement. “I don’t need to respect any authority. I’ll do what I want.”
Why did she wait until graduation to report the teacher who was intoxicated?
They have hundreds of students. They don’t have time to be researching scholarships for all of them.
On the other hand, potential employers will be a little leery of boat rockers, who go outside of normal channels to address their grievances.
Yeah, I'd like to know if she ever raised these concerns before graduation.
Where in the hell do you get that? This IS the job of a school conciliator! Help and guide the students. They made appointments with them and were blown off. Same thing happened with my kid. Your taxes pay for these idiots not to care! She still went for the scholarships at the 11th hour and got them inspire of their incompetenc, and exposed a union teacher whose job is to teach as an alcoholic. I’d hide her in a heartbeat! Most politically correct marsh mellows graduate after all this and still leave these incompetent morons in a job to repeat thier inability to do their taxpayer funded jobs! Kudos kid!
That was a lesson I had to learn the hard way when I was in the Navy. Being ‘right or wrong’ is often secondary to protocol and chain of command. I did not like it, but was able to accept it.
> Why did she wait until graduation to report the teacher who was intoxicated?
Since the teacher had been escorted out by staff and police I’m pretty sure they knew about them.
When she mentioned the drunk teacher, all the other students cheered. The implication is all the students knew, the school administration knew, and anyone who tried to do something about it got nowhere.
At least until the teacher was removed by the police for being drunk at school.
BooHooHoo snowflake.
welcome to the real world that works on eleventh hour deadlines. You should be grateful that they even informed you about the scholarships.
I graduated as valedictorian in 1967. I was backward in everything but academics. I was not even aware of available scholarships or that I needed to apply. My guidance counselor had made a move to have someone else from “the right side of the tracks” named in my place, based on the “quality” of my band class grades, but the school superintendent (actually the girl’s grandfather!) stood by me, and I kept the title. The counselor told me I could get a $1,000 scholarship to the local state community college, and that was it. I refused it and went on to the University of Kentucky, worked my way through school in 4 years, and graduated with a B.S. in Engineering. And I was married the entire 4th year. Also, I carried absolutely no student debt. So don’t blame this girl for being unaware.
>>Imagine if her college professors and prospective employers see this video.
