yeenst

!!!

Attendance says nothing about the quality and ability of an individual!

let my girl graduate!!!

the Principal can keep it

She’s one of the hardest working person I know and totally deserves to graduate

good luck kaylayla!!

Let her grad with her peers. Once in a lifetime memory for kids! Be fair.

I had the opportunity to see her film this year and was very impressed at the quality of work. As a filmmaker I know the immense amount of disciplined effort that it takes to create a short film like she did. This type of effort should be recognized and rewarded. What kind of message is really being sent by denying her the right to join her peers on stage at the graduation?

I support this!

If she’s passed the classes, she should be free to graduate. Example setting does no one any benefit.

A child should not be made an example of for missing school due to illness or other personal hardship. She completed the school work, working harder than most to achieve this. This is the example that should be celebrated, by allowing her to graduates with her classmates. Does the school board really want to fund another whole year of studies for a child who has already completed the necessary work to graduate?

I've witnessed firsthand how passionate and hardworking Kaylayla is. If the staff at Templeton sincerely believe that attending school is more important than one's emotional and mental well being, I suggest they do some serious reconsideration. Kaylayla has done nothing wrong - indeed, I believe she has done quite a lot very right. Let her graduate.

No child should be denied a right to graduate just because their attendance is poor - she put in the work and passed her classes. This principal is wrong and making an ableist choice. Many students suffer from various mental illnesses and social anxiety. Denying a teen the right to take care of herself in favour for an archaic institution is everything that is wrong with the school system today.

Kaylayla is the most perserverant and hardworking person I know! Don’t take this important milestone away from her. She deserves to graduate

Let Kaylayla McMath graduate this year.

I don’t know the story first hand, but from what I do know, it sounds like Kaylayla has worked hard and competed the requirements for graduation, in spite of not being able to attend all the classes. This seems to demonstrate a student who is determined, smart, and successful. Why would you not want to celebrate that?

Please allow Kaylayla to graduate early.

Attendance doesn’t prove someone is a hard worker in the work force. There are plenty of people who show up for their job every day and do as little as possible. A student who has passed all of their classes has earned the right to walk across the stage at graduation.

Let her graduate
