Except that we will not honor your achievements.
Yep. I had one. FWIW, I worked my butt off for it, but that was a long time ago. Was proud to wear it to graduation.
Nowadays, when everyone gets a prize for showing up, I doubt that I'd be so excited.
Phew, that and a buck will buy you a cup of coffee. Glad I'm not swimming in that hiring pool.
When I was in school, you could take the "A" (College), "B" (usually Trades, Military or Pre-College), or "C" (Burnout) tracks. If you were on the "C" track, you showed up at least occasionally, and could fog a mirror, you could get a diploma.
I can't imagine that the standards have gone up, and these guys couldn't even step over that low bar.
F- to an F = most improved. Pass me yo.

Past time for a new school board, school superintendent, and everyone up and down the line involved in approving this absurd policy decision.
Get to work, Plano-ites.
I suppose the surprise in the story, given the school’s location, is that he isn’t Asian.
Interesting that 2 of the senior high schools in the district allow it and one doesn’t (they don’t mention the 4th school).
Can’t be the school board - East and West don’t have the policy. (The magnet school isn’t mentioned). Must be the principal.
It must be per school. The other Plano high schools got to wear theirs.
LOL! I was on the list too........In fact, the last day I ever skipped school happened to be graduation day.
It wasn’t a big deal since I wasn’t invited anyway........
The scholastic equivalent of a "participation trophy."
I asked him what it was all for. His answer? “f*€k if I know.”
Your son said that to you, his parent???
“Your son said that to you, his parent???”
I know. My son and I have that relationship and he wouldn’t say that in front of other people.
