What motivation does a kid have to be valedictorian?

No motivation to be the top I think other than satisfaction. I was an honor student but no way did I deserve to be validictorian. I barely worked other than cramming at the last minute. The valadictorian and salutorian duked it out for top spot for years.

None. That's the point.

It's all part of the No Child Gets Ahead program. If one kid gets ahead, others get left behind - and that's simply unacceptable.
