Quote from: ScribeMy friends were not that sort of people. We disproved the idea that you had to work hard to get good grades. We made a mockery of the system, by finding the little buzzwords and techniques that the examiners look for, rather than the content, then went out drinking etc...
Mock not academia. You're lucky that's ALL that happened.
Besides, WTF is up with wanting awards?
Well, it would had been nice for some recognition, given as the awards were meant to be given to those who did best. Im more worried about the certificates to tell the truth.
Give me your address, Scribe. I'll send you some certificates. I think I still have my varsity Band letter certificate around here somewhere.. .

You have a bad case of the Pink, sir.
OK, I am from the States, so a lot of your tale is gibberish, sorry. It sounds like you graduated from something and did not get some special award you think you are owed? Or did I miss something. Is there more to it than a piece of paper?
If I understood correctly (I did spend 12 years in the US public school system, so forgive my ignorance), those certificates are essentially required to get into the University system. The awards would have been nice (like being picked "Valedictorian" or "Most Likely to Incite a Riot"), but the certificates were earned, and should have been presented months ago.
Sounds like when they refuse to give you your Diploma, here in the States. I knew a guy that happened to, and it sucked ass. His dad bought him a bottle of whiskey for graduation, and of course, he imbibed before school. We found him passed out in his car, and did our best to hide him on the last day of school. Nevertheless, someone snitched to the Principal, and his Diploma was withheld, until he had attended six weeks of summer school.
He did nothing wrong academically, yet they made him go to summer school anyway.
Yeah, the kid was wrong to get drunk on the last day of school, but at least he showed up... unlike half of the graduating Seniors, who got to get their diplomas on-time, even though the Principal threatened to take theirs away for missing school.
Fuck the System.
In my school only 50% of the graduating class actually recieved their diploma, and in a nieghboring school only about 35% of the class got theirs.
There's something wrong with the system if that many people aren't graduating. I think we need to bring back corporal punishment.
