I have $150 in obligations to the school. If I don't pay, they deny me my cap and gown and my diploma as well. I knew they liked me, but this is ridiculous.

That makes perfect sense.

If you have outstanding debts at college or university here, you can be held back from graduating. You need to satisfy both the academic *and* financial requirements.

Well actually, it's $350, but I am taking care of $200 by turning my softball equipment in. It's $50 for softball that I owe for last year, like $14 for A Tale of Two Cities, which I lost last year, $30 bucks for choir from last year, and $55 bucks for my Lit book which was stolen out of my english class at the beginning of the semester.

What's the big deal? You owe money, you pay money. Withholding your diploma is what you get if you rob the school.

Just pay the dough

Oh, I am not whining, and I am paying what I owe. I am just making an observation about high school graduation and how easy it is to mess up and never get your diploma.

If I was whining however, thanks for telling me to get over myself. I am sure I would need that.

Same here, except the books. Total BS, I say. You know there's a problem when your school forces you to do the same thing you'd get as an alternative to jail. You in Ontario by any chance?

In RL if you don't pay you can actually go to jail, so I suppose it's good traning for that

Be thankful you owe only $150 to a school and not $1,500 to a credit card company

I've never had to pay for anything school related, like a damaged book, or something missing.

That might end this year though, as my chem book is in sorry shape.

Actually, speaking of burning books....I'm going to do so this summer to 8 spanish books!

Let's just say my class has had 3 teachers this year, and the latest is a prick.

I was unaware most of us no longer lived in Amereica... and I was also unaware that suddenly nobody on this board could whine complain or bitch about anything.....

I must have missed that completely.....

I should pay more attention I guess....

You should read Valcion's post. You pay for what you don't return. And, by the looks of it, she's doing it. Good job.

In Germany every houshold needs to pay the books themselves ... up to 100 Euros per year and child
As for the debt, I think they're right. These books are very expensive and if everyone simply forgot or damaged them by will, the school or university would have to buy new books in masses; so rent the money somewhere or whatever and pay your debts

Like, here you don't buy the books from the school. You go to a bookstore and buy them there. So you only buy IF you want.
