I dunno, I kinda like honoring ALL the high-achievers. This is the one and only time that I would support shared honors.

All high achievers usually are honored with magna cum laude or whatever. Not recognizing valedictorians and salutatorians mess them out of scholarships and free rides at state universities.

There should be a Valedictorian and high honors/honors. I have no problem recognizing people who did well but just fell short of the #1 spot. You don't have to get rid of the Valedictorian to do that.

High achievers are still recognized. They wear special ribbons to indicate their rank. But there is only one FIRST place—at least in the real world.

That’s a good argument for having 97 presidents of the United States.

All the high-achievers are honored. Don’t buy into this BS.
