For most people, it is perfectly fine

A student who wasn’t supposed to graduate came up and grabbed a diploma cover. It wasn’t a big deal and the ceremony went on perfectly fine.


I have to say I feel sorry for teachers. Seems like the Wild West in some MCPS high schools. Why did MCPS think removing all disciplinary measures would somehow improve schools?


Unsure what disciplinary measures you think would help here. It wasn’t a big deal and most people just laughed.

My kids attend Northwood including one that graduated yesterday. It is a great school and was a great ceremony.


My understanding - the same girl who caused a scene/went on stage at Northwood's was also involved in the Kennedy graduation fight.


Don't be a fool. One girl isn't going around ruining MCPS graduations.

One and a half-ish more day, folks. Sigh.

Correct. It should be a law enforcement issue.


I agree but since SS responded will there be a report?


SS probably has law enforcement rights in DC.

Mental health issues then? This sounds a bit more extreme than Jerry Springer level beefs.
