I don’t disagree with the high school if those are the rules. However, my daughter just graduated with a Masters Degree in Speech Pathology (and my wife and I just got a raise!), and at the ceremony there were several graduates in their uniforms as opposed to cap and gown. In fact, they were specially recognized and given a standing ovation. Perhaps the high school should consider modifying its rules.
Agree. The rules should be followed as they are set. No problem; it just sticks in my craw that we Marines are trained to follow the rules... generally “Follow your last order first.” If one wants to complain about the rule or the order, do so afterwards. Congratulations on your daughter’s advancement! Well done.
