[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is always something to complain about! 
I wonder if it was your student if you would feel differently?
Shouldn’t all kids have a graduation experience?[/quote]

NP.  I assume the issue isn't with students having a graduation experience - if they've met the requirements for graduation- rather, they shouldn't go through the ceremony if they haven't yet completed the requirements.  OP may be assuming those students are actually receiving their diplomas. [b]I don't think they receive an actual diploma until after they have met the graduation requirements[/b].[/quote]

Actually, no one received a diploma at the ceremony.  Everyone got a note saying the diploma would be mailed.  Presumably no one would get one who hadn't yet finished all of the requirements.  I have no problem with letting everyone walk, though I wonder how those kids feel when they are getting congratulated for something they haven't (quite) finished yet.[/quote]

This is half-correct in that they did not receive their diplomas at the ceremony.  Instead, our kid received his diploma before the ceremony, when he picked up his cap and gown. What they handed out at the ceremony was the empty holder/cover for the diploma. [/quote]

That's interesting.  For W-L, they said the diploma would be mailed.  My kid did not receive it in advance.[/quote]
