I can not believe what happened last night at commencement. Is it me or did it seem like it was a prison camp instead of being a joyious time to celibrate? What's next - razor wire? Mr. Condon put into place a dress code (of which I agree with) however his next move is out of line. He took the fun out of graduation. As the seniors went across the stage they were not given their diploma. He held the diplomas hostage. If a student shot off silly string, threw their cap in the air or did something else that Mr. Condon felt was inappropriate he would not give that student their diploma. The graduating class earned their diplomas and they should have received them at that time. Come on Mr. Tyree, get some back bone and tell Mr. Condon he is wrong. Or just maybe we as taxpayers should withhold our propery taxes until the Plymouth School Corporation inproves their state standards and we start getting our tax dollars worth out of P.C.S.
I commend Mr. Condon for trying to put a little class back into the ceremony. If graduation is the achievement we would hope....let's act like it.
I hope even more changes are made in the future.
