Good for her! (There is one point of grammar I would fix, bu this is not the place to play Grammar Nazi Expert.) Our education system is so flocked up, it doesn't need an overhaul - it needs to be torn down to the foundations and completely rebuilt.

It's the convenience, of course. Having a personal printer means that I don't have to run out in the middle of the night to print that one piece of paper I must have.

Most of what she said was needless cruelty. No one needed to be reminded about the drunk teacher. Counselors are there to help students in need, not the valedictorian. It is not the office staff's job to find scholarships.
I had similar issues with my high school, so I dropped out and entered college early. Many first rate schools do not require graduation. She could have done the same. And, in case it matters, I was in the top 1% of the class.
