That's stupid. I doubt they'd be able to accurately compare courses.

And your school has a dux for every year?

Weird.

yes, they have a dux every year.
its not as big a deal, and it's officially called "outstanding academic achievement'

it's not my fault, i didn't make the rules.
thats just how it is.
