[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of a wj freshman so I’m curious…how is the graduation location decided each year? I know the class sizes are huge but is it ever an option to have them graduate at school and set up classrooms/auditorium for livestreams? 
Or should we just plan to get a hotel near UMBC the night before? 🤣[/quote]

The new principal said if they held it at wj each student could only have 4 tickets and then buy more only if others didn't use theirs. But by having it at umbc each student could have 6 tickets. Plus it's cheaper do they Dave money. Frankly not many people brought that many people so I think it was more about the money than the tickets. [/quote]

4 tickets is enough. Livestream it for other people. It is only a high school graduation, not really a big deal. [/quote]

It might not be a big deal for you, it wasn't a big deal for me either, but for a lot of families, it is a big deal.[/quote]

That's why they allow people with Extra tickets to sell or give them to families who want More tickets. Not everyone has family in town. Sometimes one or two tickets is enough.  Giving out 6 tickets encourages people to bring their 2 year Olds who don't have a clue what's going on and are a little cranky after sitting in traffic for an hour and then waiting in the hall for an hour and then sitting in their seats for 2 hours. 
Plus the rest of us have to ship off to Baltimore to see the graduation.  
Always catering to the .minority of people at.the expense of the majority. That's so mcps [/quote]

It's literally catering to the MAJORITY of people. The ones who want the extra tickets.

We had 7 tickets, we used 2, we gave away the other 5 to people who had more family. Everyone was happy, except apparently you.[/quote]
