Thanks. Wonder why others have not gone to their graduations.

Oh, I talk to kids all the time who are not going to their graduations. The answers fall into several general categories -- they have other things to do that prevent them from coming, or they are not interested in going in the first place. It is not that difficult a conundrum.

Oh, I am sure her debating will not be over that soon :)

Interesting. You spend all your time and energy, blood, sweat and tears, for 4 years to get a degree and you don't want to even go. Hmmm..

Really? I haven't noticed her back in the thread since she said she was done. Evidently she is less interested in debating the issue than other people are.

I will if they post on this forum but in mean time I asked the person that did say it.

Why is that "interesting?" You get the degree you have worked so hard for whether you attend the ceremony or not. You work hard for the degree, not the privilege of attending a ceremony which you may or may not find at all pleasant. But maybe I went to the wrong schools, because while there was a lot of hard work involved in me earning my degrees, there was no blood, sweat, or even tears.

Well this was her response:

I think I'm done with this conversation for now.

Well, maybe if somebody asks something interesting or relevant, she might have something to say. I think she's kinda bored with the whole thing now. Besides, she has a wedding to go to.
