Talk about being in a foul mood

A few weeks ago the news ran a story on a catholic school, a teen got pregnant and the school refused to let her attend the ceremony and gave her diploma the morning of at her home, BUT they let the father of the baby attend and walk across the stage.

When the last name was read, she stood up and yelled her own name and walked across the stage to a cheering student section.

Not to give her any ideas.....

That really sucks Jim. I'll be so glad when I don't have to deal with the school systems any more. My son who has real learning disablities is heading for his last year after school restats. They give all the kids here an fcat test that he can't and never will pass. But.......you can't graduate until you do. I really think kids should be graded on their ability to learn. But no....they grade them all as equals. I find that so unfair, I'll be at the school come August fighting for him again...

I sure hope everything works out ok for your daughter.....good luck!
