What the hell is wrong with you people in Plano?

[grizzman]

I sent the principal an e-mail today since I'm a 1991 graduate. Here's what I got back.

Dear Stephen,

Thank you for reaching out to us and realizing that there is another side to this story....

Since the school opened in 1975 and with the first graduating class of 1976, students have worn one item of distinction during the graduation ceremony and that is the white honor stole for students with a GPA of 3.6 and above (an academic standard which matches requirements for the National Honor Society). We are aware that many honor students may not also be members of the National Honor Society, but the school has opted not to include additional regalia per tradition.

This long standing practice was questioned by students twice in the school's history, once in 2004 and again around 2008 or 2009. Both times, the tradition of not including any regalia for various student clubs, honor societies, leadership roles or other activities was explained to them, and in 2008/2009, class officers and student congress leaders were given the opportunity to consider a change in the practice. The student leaders opted to uphold the tradition.

We plan to review our practice again next year with our student leadership to see what they believe is appropriate.

Sincerely,

Glenn Davis
PSHS, Associate Principal

That's what I've been trying to say.

[Bigyummy77]

I just want to say " PULL WeYOUR REIGNS IN THERE SIR. " This "you" folk Crap is just that. If you want to stereotype, you obviously are one of the problems. THERE are some very good people living in Plano. I'm sure I can find issues with " YOU people" wherever you're from.

[Bigyummy77]

I am thinking they are just Plano idiots. Everyone gets a trophy and no one can earn anything beyond what the slackers get handed.

Judge as you will. TBH used to be respectful. And not catorigize others ways....

[Bigyummy77]

The question used to be:
"What is going on in..." but WHATEVER

Wait you mean the media might have embellished a story to make money? Say it isn't so! It must be those dang attorneys trying to get attention!

Was thinking the same thing. If you are not involved in your local system whether school or political, you are letting this happen not matter where you live. More fun to come on here and get a frenzy going though.

And for the record...... in '75 Plano Senior High was the ONLY high school in Plano.

One of our friend's daughter is affected by this. She (the mother) is pretty steamed. They are still allowing the emblems in Frisco according to my daughter. She didn't qualify, but she isn't jealous either.

According to the news, Plano East and West get to wear theirs also. Just not PSH
