Latest poll results

In case you haven't noticed by now, we change out our informal Gradebook poll at the upper left hand corner of this page each Thursday. There's a new one now, this time focusing on the current budget struggles that school districts are facing. Sorry, no room for comments. But thanks for picking one of the options.

Here's how you responded to our last question, "Should high schools continue to recognize valedictorians and salutatorians?"

• Yes, the students who get the best grade-point average deserve the recognition. 196 votes - 75%
• No, the GPA battle is too cut-throat. Just honor the top 5 percent. 48 votes - 18%
• Who cares? High school is over. 18 votes - 7%

If you have any ideas for future questions, or any other thoughts about the Gradebook in general, please send an e-mail to solochek@sptimes.com.
