I am an oppressed student.?

It is my senior year. I was currently ranked 1st, hoping to become Valedictorian, and then the number 4 in my grade got a teacher of her's to change her grades for 2 semesters from Bs to As just because he thinks she deserves it since she passed an AP Exam with a 3. The AP exam is a standardized nation wide test that is optional and has nothing to do with the actual course grade. Also, he is basically sending a message to students that regardless of how hard you work in this class (you can get an E), I guarantee you an A with a 3. A 3 represents a B, a 4-5 represent an A. So you see, firstly the teacher changed the grades and another thing, is that the grade on that test does not correlate with an A according to the college board. Its not fair that one teacher has this ';verbal'; policy not mentioned in the syllabus. I had the same AP class with a much harder teacher and I still earned an A and also passed my AP Exam. Its not fair that I get moved down to #2 in my rank when I actually earned an A in the class. The unjust teacher even told me that ';even if she had an E in the class, I will give her an A because of this exam.'; I explained the logical arguments and he was proven wrong, but my school administration does not want to get involved. I filed a complaint to the school board and i have my first meeting next week with a board member. Am I or am I not doing the right thing. i have straight As in my transcript, unlike my competition. Keep in mind, the teacher changed the 2 grades (2 semesters) from Bs. to As. When I was in 9th grade, I had this goal of Valedictorian, and I worked harder then anyone, even my competition will admit it? Should I continue with this in the fight for truth and justice? I need feed back. If you have some arguments and recommendations that I should employ in taking to the board, please inform me. Thankyou.I am an oppressed student.?
If you feel that it is this important to you, then by all means you should defend your position. Just realize that while you may prove your case, also you may not prove your case, and be willing to accept it and move on. You have excellent grades, and you have a lot to be very proud of, but in the long term there are more important things in life. I graduated Summa *** Laude with a 4.0, but I value some of my other accomplishments a great deal more that had nothing to do with grades.I am an oppressed student.?
if ypu really want it that much then fight.cheating doesnt make anyone a winner sweety .even if you dont get to be valdictorian you know within you you were a very good student and you did extremely well i was straight A out of high school and i wasnt valdictorian because not everyone in the class could have been val but most of us ad the traits,attitude and grades to be it.
