Footnote to the NHS thread

Parents Forum

<p>Just an unbelievable footnote: Today our son gave us his “Cap-and-Gown” pictures. In them, he is wearing a NHS stole. If you recall, this is the son who has been excluded both years because of his too-honest stances on public and private issues, which he comes by honestly. </p>

<p>When we asked him why he is wearing an NHS stole in the pictures, he told us that EVERYONE was told to put one on for Cap-and-Gown pictures. Everyone in the class. So I guess that’s how much it matters. </p>

<p>I am infuriated that this thing mars his senior picture, and there’s nothing I can do about it. This is just another reason I will be so happy to see him out of that school!</p>

<p>Unbelievable! Didn’t the NHS advisor(s) have any problem with this? Or was the rationale the old “we don’t want the kids who aren’t a part of NHS to feel bad” argument?</p>

<p>I have no idea what the rationale is behind anything at that school anymore. I have had nothing to do with the place since last November, the second time he was excluded. I wouldn’t dare ask about such a thing as this. Would likely be told it’s none of my business.</p>

<p>Wow, after reading the awards & NHS thread you just can’t believe how different schools are. Having all the students wear an NHS stole? Bizarre.</p>
