Isabel Gottlieb’s Graduation Fiasco
Bow High School, in New Hampshire, will not let Miss Gottlieb graduate, because she the varsity athlete is shy one gym class credit. They suggested she drop A.P. Biology or Calculus so she could fulfill the P.E. requirement.
Though Isabel Gottlieb is a good student, a trumpet player in the school band and holds varsity letters in three sports, she discovered last fall she was one gym class shy of having enough credits to graduate next month.
She asked for a waiver, but the school wouldn’t budge, telling her instead she had to drop a class to take gym.
“Why would I drop an AP biology class to take P.E.?” the 18-year-old said. “It’s just not on my priority list.”

Puh-leez. Every kid who is graduating had to take the gym class. Just cuz you didn’t want to take it, doesn’t mean you get a diploma. That is why there are rules.

Hi,
My name is Joe Edgerton and I am a staff writer for the Bow Times. We broke the story days before the Union Leader, the Concord Monitor, and the Associated Press. Isabel Gottlieb will be able to graduate after all. We wrote a few articles to that effect, check out www.yourneighborhoodnews.com for more information.
Also, Bow High School’s graduation is coming up, and I will be covering it. Details to follow.

Your site is a refreshing change from the majority of sites I have visited. When I first started visiting web sites I was excited by the potential of the internet as a resource and was very disappointed initially. You have restored my enthusiasm and I thank you for your efforts to share your insights and help the world become a better place.
