Kat - I'd go because it is important to the others who requested you. She is a con and she will try and con for the rest of her life. shame on everyone who passed her along the way.

Because I am petty I would be tempted to say something to her when on stage with her.

Good grief, Kat. Whether you choose to go to graduation or not will not change this kid's chances for success. Her inability to take responsibility for her choices isn't going to turn around overnight. If possible try and make your decision with complete disregard for her presence. (unless you might pop her in the jaw, in which case maybe pass) Also, I am sorry. I hope you can focus on your accomplishments and accept the things over which you have no influence.

Or walk off the stage when she gets up there.

But I guess the CB only has one thing to sell and that's the validity of their test scores.

That's true.

Dana, there are about 8 randomized test forms. When proctors give the test, they submit a seating chart with the book serial numbers and how the books were handed out and which desk received which book. It's pretty easy to have kids near each other with the same form.

Or walk off the stage when she gets up there.

Oh, I like this idea!

Oh, Kat, what a mess!

I don't understand, though: if she's not getting a diploma at graduation, what will you be handing her? A blank piece of paper?

Everyone gets a blank jacket. Once you return the gown you get the diploma paper. Since we get charged for lost gowns.

Also walking and not getting a diploma because you still have oustanding requirements is relatively common at UCLA, even in grad programs.

Oh god, Kat. I'm all flaily hands for you. I'd be furious...beyond disgusted...perhaps even apoplectic in your place.

How do these people even imagine they will succeed.

I knew a dude like this is high school. He buffaloed everyone and got by on sheer bs.

In the end, he cheated at West Point. I don't know how deeply he ruined his life, but I can only hope that this chick gets some of her own.

Ugh, Kat. What a mess. I hope for as little drama as possible on graduation day.

Everyone gets a blank jacket. Once you return the gown you get the diploma paper. Since we get charged for lost gowns.

We had to buy our gowns in high school, but we were also given the blank jackets during the ceremony. We were threatened that if we didn't behave at graduation, we wouldn't be given the real diploma, which I find kind of ridiculous at the time.
