Talked to her tonight. Ask for attention of other parents on this.

My daughter is an honor role student in Florida. Every single program she has strived to be a part of they have cancelled. Tonight she called and they told them TODAY.......you have to pay a "walk fee". I'm like walk fee to school.....what? 60 dollar "walk fee" to get to walk across the graduation stage to get your diploma. Not to mention parents have to pay for tickets to see your child walk across the stage to get their diploma. I did it for my oldest.....they walked across the indoor "ocean center".....maybe that's not the name....put it this way, famous people play there, it's and enclosed venue. 2 family members only. Fine. Now my next daughter has to pay to cross the stage at the fair grounds.....and parents have to pay for tickets that the Beatles would ask for....to trudge through mud and dirt. They have gone from free material gowns to pay yourself for tissue gowns and now to this. My diploma was in a nice padded leather and ribbon encasement. My daughters get a photo copy of a bad deal wrapped in nothing and a rubber band for flavor.....and pay this much for it. Why pay for this ? 60 + 50 + 50.... just to get the paper you earned and 2 people to witness?


Not to mentio the 150.00 fee for the disposible graduation gown and hat you are not allowed to keep and the required dress for underneath it.
