[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why aren’t graduation at the schools football stadiums? That’s how most of us do it. [/quote] x10000 Now THAT is actual tradition. [/quote] Not here where you get afternoon/evening thunderstorms, heat warnings or, like today, air quality issues. Then the back up is the school gym with maybe 1 spectator per student, the rest in classrooms watching on CCTV. [/quote] One LHS taxpayer alone could easily cover the cost of suitable covering of the bleachers. Fairfax county is run poorly because it is simply too big to be efficient. [b]Plus, the whiny few dictate the setting and precedent[/b], not the needs of the many. Also, sheer lack of common sense is prevelant. So, DAR it is. [/quote] Well, that's definitely what we're seeing on this thread. Actually, every year there is a new group of whiners who think if they complain loudly enough, all the other parents will follow their lead. What they (you) seem to be missing is just how many parents actually LIKE going to DAR for graduation. You may not think it's special and memorable, but tons of others do and in fact, look forward to the day their kids graduate there. Also, leave the "LHS taxpayer" out of this. We're all public school parents and we don't ask certain people to pay more. [/quote] Take a survey to prove it if you think people really truly prefer to drive into DC during rush hour traffic, and pay to park in a very crowded garage just to see their kid graduate in the lovely setting of DAR. [/quote] No one needs to “take a survey.” Graduations are at DAR and will continue to be so.[/quote]
