I'd can the attitude before I started asking them for their help:rolleyes:
I don't have an attitude, i'm just saying. Also, I c an't just redial. First, on your touch tone phone, you need to pick the appropriate party and then hold while the operator redirects you to another party. Then some other half baked operator answers,says what she said and hangs up.

i just wanted to know whether it was legal or not for them to make you pay in the first place

According to the New York board of education website, you can request a copy of your diploma directly from the school. that leads me to believe that no, it is not legal for them to make you "pay" for the diploma, I am not an attorney, you may be required to pay to participate in the proceedings, you know, proper attire and all, the fact that IAAL, who is an attorney, spent enough time telling you to keep pursuing, also lends to the idea that something is amiss here. Don't direct your questions to an operator, if nothing else, at least insist on speaking to that person's supervisor, and so on and so on.

yeah, i understood, and i was grateful for her help, and thanks for your response also. however, that person hung up on me before i got a second word out of my mouth. i really did not mean to have an attitude, so i apologize if it came off that way.

imagine though, the attitudes the board of ed people have:eek:

Get on their website, start asking for people by NAME. make it a hobby to change their attitudes, keep calling, write letters to your senators, and mayor, what the heck, it is a great learning experience!
 
Have you asked for the superintendent or board for the policy regarding paying to graduate? Do they have a hardship clause? Outside the system you could talk to the local news/newspaper or you might consider contacting the ACLU.
