Whitman Graduation Postponed

[Anonymous]

from 9am this morning to 6pm tonight due to the smoke. Great, there goes dinner reservations. Do these MCPS staff flunkies not realize that you can't simply change a dinner reservation at a Michelin-starred restaurant on the fly? Do they think we all celebrate our kids's graduations at Olive Garden and can just show up whenever we want? Why didn't MCPS have a back-up plan for this once-in-a-generation unique set of environmental circumstances that would have allowed them to move the ceremony inside and still have it this morning? Thanks, Monifa. Typical lack of preparedness from MCPS even until the bitter end.

Is this satire? Because if not, I get the disappointment, but this is next-level Karen-ism!!!!!!

Yes, it's satire. Everyone knows there aren't any Olive Gardens in Montgomery County.

+1 LOL entitlement of some people

"Why didn't mcps forsee the fire and the air quality becoming dangerous here several months in advance. Surely MCPS could find a large indoor venue the day before, and have the venue all setup and configured ready to go within 24 hours. My reservation at a michelin restaurant is soo much more important than some person's asthma. How rude."

I beg to differ.. the set that goes to a michelin restaurant would not know this. I'm impressed that they even know what an Olive Garden is.

Oops, your snob is showing.

Had you extemporized in a less disparaging manner to MCPS staff, who is not to blame and only wants to protect people from harmful air quality, I would have sympathized. As it is... no.

Getting an indoor space for a high school graduation at the drop of a hat for an unexpected event that has never happened before in our region... is HARDER than changing your Michelin reservation.

Ah well. Foie gras dinner another time, eh, OP?
Your suffering is on par with the asthma crises and heart attacks from our CODE PURPLE and CODE MAROON AIR.

Clearly spoken as a plebeian who has never had the finest foie gras this side of France!

This is the right call. It's unsafe to be outside unless necessary. MCPS does not need to be responsible for granny sitting outside in hazardous level air quality.

You also do not need to celebrate and march in graduation on the same day.

Will it be better at 6pm?

The foie gras will be better. Let's hope Whitman moves graduation inside and the mess of the last four years can finally be over.
