[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding is you still walk with your class, but diploma will be pending until passing required classes even at the University.

Approved to walk is the right call.  The young people did not try to fail a class, they will have to deal with it this summer but not walking with the class would be unnecessary torture, what would be the point, to single them out?[/quote]

They had chances to improve the grade and didn't. So, they kind of did try to fail if they weren't doing what they needed to do to pass.[/quote]

I think you've replied several times with this ridiculous claim. Just stop. You can't do everything you want either. You too, have tried and failed in your life. It's better for these kids to shoot higher and fail one class, than not try at all.

If they meet FCPS requirements, they should be allowed to walk. [/quote]

You're as dumb as these kids.  “A lot of these students have had opportunities [to improve their grade]. For most of them, the grade isn’t a surprise.[/quote]

The extra requirement to walk at the ceremony is a surprise and was dropped on the students with little notice. Not surprised since Mukai is a terrible communicator and constantly moves the goalposts on students and staff. [/quote]

Oh it's you again.  
Mukai is enforcing rules.  The fact that Bonitatibus didn't enforce rules doesn't make Mukai administratively capricious by enforcing the rules.
I know you didn't like it that he basically sent back entire delegations from historically underrepresented schools after they couldn't keep their GPA above 3.0 and replaced them with Froshmores from "feeder" schools.  It's not that the kids were born different, they were trained differently and to take a kid that has spent their entire life at the shallow end of the pool and throwing them in the deep end with kids that have been there their entire life is not a recipe for success.  To some extent it is always going to be harder at the underrepresented schools but if you blow smoke and pretend there isn't even a problem in K-8 in those pyramids, you are never going to close the gap.[/quote]

I don't have a problem with rules being enforced. The problem since Mukai has taken over is that he is a terrible communicator and instead of being transparent about the rules and requirements from the beginning, he drops surprises like this on students and staff and constantly moves the goalposts with no rhyme or reason. [/quote]

I am wondering why the faculty, staff students and families of WSHS all think he is so great?

He certainly more honest that Bonitatibus.[/quote]
