[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree, OP, it's odd. But it's also odd to me that students don't come to school the week before graduation. Where I grew up, graduation was after your last final exam on the last day of school. Seniors went 180 days just like freshmen. [b]FCPS has decided it is critical to allow everyone to bring as many guests as they want to graduation rather than limit tickets,[/b] so there are limited facilities that work. They schedule 3 graduations a day (90 minute arrival, 2 hours graduation, 90 minute clean up/set up for next graduation)--so 5 hour slots = 3 per day. If people were okay with limiting graduation tickets to 4 per graduate, they could do it in the gyms on the last day and families could sit in bleachers. But i suspect there'd be mutiny over that too.[/quote] Tell that to the schools that have to graduate at Constitution Hall! Five tickets per family. Not nearly enough for many families, leaving them begging for tickets.[/quote]
