California Schools

Have any of you guys seen this new story on the news. It seems about 8 or 9 schools in California have adopted a policy that only allows students who are going to college or the military to walk with their class on graduation day. Some schools are even requiring that students have to put their post-high school plans down in writing and turn it into the administration in order to graduate with their class. How insane is that??

    Sounds good to me! It is called "GOAL SETTING" which is a very important part of BEING SOMEONE!

    About time!

    I agree with you on the goal setting, but goals are your own thing that you set and you work for. Someone might have many goals that they are working for, but they shouldn't have to turn them into the school administration in order to graduate. It's the schools job to give them an education, not to oversee their life plans. I just don't see how this policy would help at all. Just my opinion.

    Well, no one says that you have to STICK with the goal.......just make one. :) Give them *something* to shoot for, instead of just aimlessly wasting your life away.

    This is BS. The way I understand it is....if you're going to college or entering the military you get to participate in the ceremony. You MUST provide proof the you've been accepted to one or the other. Like I said BS.
    The graduation ceremony is supposed to be an acknowledgement of what you've accomplished. An "ATTABOY!" a "Way to go!"
    This is typical Kalifornia wierd crap.

    Mudge the incensed


    I can't come to work today. The voices said, STAY HOME AND CLEAN THE GUNS!

    As far as I have heard it is just one school here in So Cal, and they are taking a lot of heat over it. They will probably change the rule after enough heat is applied. We have jerks in positions of authority just like every other state.
    The female principal of a local high school decided to conduct a panty inspection of the girls attending a school dance to make sure they were not wearing thongs. She had them lift their dresses while in line with their dates. Well, she is now unemployed, and the district might get sued, so there is some justice.

    Graduation ceremony should be for anyone completing school. No
    matter what their plans. Their plans are no ones bussiness. As far
    as college or entering the Military, what is so great about entering
    the Military. Before you yell at me, I served for about 3 years.
    I was a Infantryman in WW 2 in Europe . Cant see how in H**L it
    aided my working career with the talents I aquired in combat. These
    talents were best forgotten and left back over there.
