[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The cords and stoles are completely out of control. It is ridiculous.[/quote]

FCPS has a very short list of cords and tassels.

Honor grad stole
National Honor Society cape
AP Scholar national medal
Department award medal

State level recognition medals for things like All Virginia choir or 1st place state champions in a sport, National History Day, etc

Academic national honor societies cords (math, german, music, theater, history, etc)

Eagle Scout/Girl Scout Gold Award cord

Military Service cord (enlistment, ROTC scholarship,  Service Academy appointment)

Purple cord for military dependents

Service cord (for volunteer service diploma)

National EMT cord given to students who professionally certify as EMTs with the county

There might be one or two others.

There are enough that every kid who works hard can earn something.  For example, every srident in FCPS can earn the service cord, regardless of grades, if they just put in a little bit of work to earn one.

It is absurd that fcps would get rid of the cords over parent complaints and equity, although it would not surprise me.
