It's an honor to walk across stage

To the editor:

I read a lot of newspapers from around the United States, and the story about Kelly High School's students not being able to walk at graduation with their class just because they finished early is a big joke. It was an honor to walk across the stage with my class. Why should those who finished early not have the same honor? I think the school board should wake up and smell the coffee. Let them all graduate together. Don't make the students regret doing a good thing.
