I see you all have done your research. I see that all of this came from transcripts of ON THE RECORD, GERALDO, NANCY GRACE, AND ETC.
Yeah, right.
I am sorry...I have been used to actual quotes from actual transcripts...you don't see much of that on here. I guess I will have to get off my butt and do more research on my own. Thanks for pointing that out to me.  |
Casara I thought you left?

Ohhh trust me...they DO have some doozies to share.

Well Beth doesn't do anything unless there is a personal agenda attached to it.
What was her agenda here??
Having little 5 yr olds run home to tell mommy and daddy of the big bad evil young man, that is walking around their island? What was she trying to imply here, that Joran was a pedophile? That he would harm, innocent little blonde girls?
I can't wait until this case is closed next summer. I feel there is going to be alot of people speaking out, writing books, about Beth and her band of THUGS on that island.

She was...and still IS, using any dirty trick in the book to get Aruba to prosecute Joran, despite the lack of any evidence of a crime.

All that has been found is the scholarships given from the U of A. My daughter just graduated from high school and she did receive three scholarships from the university that she will attend. These did not cover the total cost; however, she did receive some foundation, state and private scholarships because of her community service, activities and academic performance. With all of them added together it is more than the cost of her college. If you were to search for her scholarships for the college though the only ones that would show up in your search would be the ones the college gave her. So it is possible that Natalee received a full ride to college, just not from one source. Also, she might not have been listed as an honor graduate as schools have different criteria for listing someone as an "honor graduate". But she did graduate with honors as evidenced by the cords she had with her gown and the gold tassel. I think it is all a matter of wording. |
Her chords with her gowns were because she was an honor student in Spanish. Her OVER-ALL academic record (GPA) was not high enough to get her honor grad status. She received a standard diploma. |
The gold tassel at our high school indicates an honor student. Also students receive cords for Beta Club which is based on academics. Maybe the gold tassel was an indication of National Honor Society at Mountain Brook, someone from there may can clear this up. But I do think she was a member of National Honor Society, in which case she would have gotten a seal on her diploma that indicates a student graduating with honors, not necessarily an honor student. As I stated schools indicate honor students differently. At some of the schools in our area you are only an honor student if you are val or sal. But you can graduate with honors and not be an honor student. At any rate you can be an extremely intelligent student and not be considered an honor graduate. For example, my oldest daughter made a C one nine weeks in an advanced math class (only one she ever made). That knocked her out of being an honor student at graduation; however, she graduated 10th in her class, 31 on ACT, National Merit Student of Commendation, and 4.3 GPA. There were other students who never took an Advanced Placement class who had a lower gpa than her but were announced as honor students. Thanks for letting me know what the cords stood for. I knew she was in the Spanish honors society but didn't realize they got cords for that.

Beejesus...go look up the Birmingham News, for the list of the graduating class of 2005 from Mountain Brook.
IF Natalee had GRADUATED WITH HONORS, she would of been listed as such. The only thing Natalee was a member of the Spanish HONOR Society.....that is why she wore chords on her gown.
White Tassels: Honor Grads
Yellow Tassels: The rest of the graduating class. Natalee was at the 25 percentile out of about 150 students.
I'm now done with this argument. The proof was printed in the newspaper for ALL to see......go google it. Get educated.

EXCELLENT letter!!! I hope you've sent this to the FBI, the news media services, AND the Birmingham newspapers. I would think that if the paper wouldn't print the "letter as a letter to the editor", there'd be enough of us here to chip in for a full page ad to publish it!

The first meeting between Jug's 'new family' and his natural children reportedly occured in Destin when Jug unveiled Beth and her kids and said something along the lines of "meet your new family". I'll see if I can find the quote, it came from one of Jug's kids. |
I did not know this.
Tacky, tacky, tacky...
And GREAT letter, statinmyopinion2!

That is something that is supposed to be private and is not supposed to be published in the paper just as a general rule. I have not done a goggle or any other kind of search. If I need to know anything specific I can pick up the phone and make a phone call and can find out anything I need to know. I just consider some of this stuff none of my business. Some of this stuff going on has gone way beyond invasion of privacy for all involved.

Her gpa has nothing to do with her character. I've seen some kids with pretty high gpa's but not so good characters.

All that has been found is the scholarships given from the U of A. My daughter just graduated from high school and she did receive three scholarships from the university that she will attend. These did not cover the total cost; however, she did receive some foundation, state and private scholarships because of her community service, activities and academic performance. With all of them added together it is more than the cost of her college. If you were to search for her scholarships for the college though the only ones that would show up in your search would be the ones the college gave her. So it is possible that Natalee received a full ride to college, just not from one source. Also, she might not have been listed as an honor graduate as schools have different criteria for listing someone as an "honor graduate". But she did graduate with honors as evidenced by the cords she had with her gown and the gold tassel. I think it is all a matter of wording. |
Her chords with her gowns were because she was an honor student in Spanish. Her OVER-ALL academic record (GPA) was not high enough to get her honor grad status. She received a standard diploma. |
The gold tassel at our high school indicates an honor student. Also students receive cords for Beta Club which is based on academics. Maybe the gold tassel was an indication of National Honor Society at Mountain Brook, someone from there may can clear this up. But I do think she was a member of National Honor Society, in which case she would have gotten a seal on her diploma that indicates a student graduating with honors, not necessarily an honor student. As I stated schools indicate honor students differently. At some of the schools in our area you are only an honor student if you are val or sal. But you can graduate with honors and not be an honor student. At any rate you can be an extremely intelligent student and not be considered an honor graduate. For example, my oldest daughter made a C one nine weeks in an advanced math class (only one she ever made). That knocked her out of being an honor student at graduation; however, she graduated 10th in her class, 31 on ACT, National Merit Student of Commendation, and 4.3 GPA. There were other students who never took an Advanced Placement class who had a lower gpa than her but were announced as honor students. Thanks for letting me know what the cords stood for. I knew she was in the Spanish honors society but didn't realize they got cords for that. |
Beejesus...go look up the Birmingham News, for the list of the graduating class of 2005 from Mountain Brook.
IF Natalee had GRADUATED WITH HONORS, she would of been listed as such. The only thing Natalee was a member of the Spanish HONOR Society.....that is why she wore chords on her gown.
White Tassels: Honor Grads
Yellow Tassels: The rest of the graduating class. Natalee was at the 25 percentile out of about 150 students.
I was not arguing with you. I am sorry if you took offense. I was pointing out that you can graduate with honors and not be listed as an honor graduate. I stated that I wasn't sure about the tassel thing as it could be different from schools in my area. As far as her gpa not being high enough I am wondering how you would know her gpa. That is something that is supposed to be private and is not supposed to be published in the paper just as a general rule. I have not done a goggle or any other kind of search. If I need to know anything specific I can pick up the phone and make a phone call and can find out anything I need to know. I just consider some of this stuff none of my business. Some of this stuff going on has gone way beyond invasion of privacy for all involved. |
Wildcat aint nuttin private when ones mother is building 'character' |

Her GPA was made public by her mother, as well as by other MB students on many occassions. Early on (within the first few days) MB students were posting on these boards giving Natalee's GPA as a reason why she should not be considered a runaway.

Both of her parents spoke of it in the media. Like who freaking cares about a missing girls GPA? . And I believe Dave also put it in his book. In his only few paragraphs that he actually writes about Natalee.
