No dues, no graduation? That’s against the law!

My granddaughter just graduated from Patrick Henry this year and her class was told that if they hadn’t paid their school fees by a certain date that they would not be allowed to go to graduation.

How is that for being supposedly free?

I am so glad you wrote this article because it sure opened my eyes.  To think I didn’t have to pay those fees after all.

Wonder if I can get a refund?

LOL

    No Kay
    You have been ripped off. We live in a society now where everything is “free.” No one should ever have to pay fees for education, school activities, sports or healthcare. It doesn’t matter if you can afford it, you have your rights.
    Just keep voting for politicians who promise more free stuff and your life will be just one big, free liberal utopia….just like they have in North Korea.

    #2 Like it or not, terps, the state Constitution calls for a “free” education. Don’t like it? Change the Constitution.

    It’s okay, Kay. At least your grandchild can answer questions posed to her… unlike some people who cannot:
