[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone else's child come home and reported this update for all FCPS graduations next year?

I'm told that since we don't want to make some kids feel bad - no graduates will be allowed to wear honor cords showing their achievements starting with next year's graduations.

Is this what we've come to? Protecting the fragile feelings of some kids who has chosen to concentrate their achievements elsewhere (ie, could be community, sports) or just decided academic achievement wasn't a focus for them. And now no graduates are allowed to celebrate academic achievements.

So disappointed, FCPS.
Want to know if others have heard this as well.[/quote]

My senior this year was told by staff that this was in the works they were worried it was going to happen this year-but it didn't they had their cords and their NHS stole. I hope these are all just rumors my kids were so happy to have earned these and wore them proudly. Also there is one for athletes and community service hours. [/quote]
