I AM a graduate of a private school, located at Qasimabad, Hyderabad. On Oct 2 the school held its graduation ceremony to which only high achievers, with five or more As, were allowed to bring parents. Some others were allowed to attend without parents.

However, students without As were left out as if they did not exist. A graduation ceremony should be held for every single graduate, not just high achievers. Either all graduates should be part of the graduation ceremony or it shouldn’t be held at all.
