[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a ridiculous, elitist rule that Mukai decided to enforce. At any other high school, it doesn't matter if a student graduates with a standard or advanced diploma, they get to participate in the graduation ceremony.[/quote]

Because everyone deserves a trophy?[/quote]

If a student met the requirements to graduate, they should participate in the graduation ceremony. Very simple. [/quote]
OK, they can have their own section for an advanced diploma instead of the TJ diploma. They didn’t meet the same requirements as everyone else.[/quote]

They meet the requirements to graduate high school in a public school in Virginia, which TJ is. It is paid for with my tax dollars. If they do not graduate with the TJ endorsement, okay, but they have still earned a Virginia diploma, and probably an Advanced diploma (presuming their four years of math were met with eighth grade credits) and certainly a Standard diploma. The idea that they want to shame teenagers to make someone else feel good and even more superior than they think they are in their heads is disgusting. Holding back walking may be appropriate for kids who will not graduate at all. [/quote]
