Rang in der (Bestenliste der) Klasse
Explanation:
"Educators argue, too, that
the traditional system of
class rank in which the topscoring
student becomes the
valedictorian hurts the
brightest students because it
causes them to focus on
grades and competition (as if
that’s a bad thing) rather
than learning."
