Wow parents, who cares who is on this list. Who cares how they select who makes the list. Most of the kids could care less. If you and your son or daughter know the did the best they could, then all should be just fine. All I see on these threads are how Johnny and Sally were not on the list and Billy and Betty were not. Stop whinning and be proud of what your child or your friend did. Thats the only thing that matters!!
P.S If it's all about getting noticed, then you must be one of those parents I watched on 20/20.
