Studying for a qualification is not for the faint of heart. It can be challenging, stressful and demanding. Tally up all those early mornings rushing to get to class on time, or the late nights hitting the books before a test. We know it was tough at times, but this is the moment to look back on it and realise it was worth all the work. They have seen your journey and know how much hard work has gone into your achievements.
Thank you for your kind replies! Yes, self pairing up is stupid and hurtful. Most HS graduations that I have attended do honors grads first, followed by the rest of the students in alpha order. My grandmother died the night before and my mother forced me.
She really is at-peace with the decision, and now I will fret about it less, too. If school administration does ask why your daughter is choosing not to participate, I definitely think you or she should state that, among other reasons, their graduation procession policy is misguided. Administrators like this are the same ones who refuse to admit that there is bullying in their school and would be incredulous if anyone suggested that their policies played a part in it.
I suspect they will be immune to quiet appeals to common sense. Our high school has something called Convocation the day before graduation. It is held in the school auditorium. They recognize IB diplomates and give out scholarships and departmental awards. I missed it for my first kid, but someone told me about it so I got to see my second kid get her awards.
It was much better than the big ceremony at the local college. If the graduation will cause her angst and you are fine with missing the ceremony then go ahead and mark the occasion another way.
If she wants to get the cap and gown or borrow a friends and take some family photos that can probably be done as well.
