Why doesn't FCPS HAVE REAL 8TH GRADE GRADUATIONS?

[Anonymous]

This mother said her son dropped out of school because of this. He was 16, had to drop out because the Covid protocols he wasn’t going t9 wear a mask in school so he dropped out.
He even show his principals and teachers studies he did about this Covid and they didn’t care so 2021-2022 school year he dropped out and didn’t look bad.

I am 54 years old and have never heard of an 8th grade graduation.

FWIW, my 8th grader’s school is hosting an 8th grade party/dance.

Not sure why you are shouting, OP.

Our middle school has a field trip for the kids and a dance and an awards ceremony. There was also recently a large NJHS ceremony that included about 1/3 of the school.

Social media is a disease, OP. If you are this influenced by social media, chances are you are failing at parenting. Meaning, you won’t be able to attend a 12th grade graduation, let alone an 8th grade graduation, because your kid will fail out. Put the phone down.

I am fine with or without.

8th grade graduations are tacky.

Sure have a celebration of some sort and dances, but cap and gown... Are we in "Little House on the Prairie" where they boys would leave after graduation to till the fields and and the girls to get married?

THEY WILL ALSO HAVE A LOT OF Dances, and PARTIES FOR GRADUTING 8TH GRADE.. WHY DOESN'T FCPS DO THIS?

THey have a small little dance and they don't even have GRADUTION where the kids would wear caps and
gowns why not? I am not going to email the school board anymore I am done with them. I emailed them enough this school year, just want to know why they don't do this?

If you're mad about it why don't you email them?
IF YOUR KIDS GRADUATED FROM 8TH GRADE DID THEY HAVE A REAL GRADUATION?
I just can't use social media and watch all this videos' of how kids have a real graduation in 8th grade. it breaks my heart because FCPS don't care about anyone beside high school seniors.

I had 3 kids go thru FCPS in the past 10 years and have NEVER not ONCE had reason to email the school board. What is WRONG with YOU??

I seen all this TikTok taking about the class of 2020 never had a 8th grade graduation, and this year they will be graduation for the first time since they graduated 5th grade. I’m here thinking FCPS never had one ever. They did a promotion ceremony when they were promoted to 7th grade, but they didn’t have any caps and gowns. It was a very small event only 2 family members were invited do the event. It’s sad that FCPS is stealing so much from our kids.

“I seen”?

That explains everything.

If he drop out of school at 16 because he had to wear a mask, he probably wasn’t gonna contribute much to society anyways.

Suspect OP is troll but fun troll post so we could try to guess prior emails to Board. Maybe: “Why is why the ice bucket challenge mandatory in all FCPS schools! Signed, TikTok Parent”

No, it would be “WHY DOESN’T FCPS MAKE ALL 8Th graders DO THE ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE!” It was all over TIK TOK!”

OP is a Beverly Hillbillies fan and wants their kid to be like Jethro Bodine an 8th grade graduate.

[Anonymous]

Exhibit A for why TikTok should be banned.


(Was this OP's point all along?)

Just imagine the insane asylum those Board email inboxes must resemble.

“I am trying not to overreact and take this personally but whY IS MY DAUGHTER’S KINDERGARTEN ROOM PAINTED YELLOW?!?! WHY DO YOU HATE CHILDREN SO MUCH?!?!”
