High School Confidential

[mac56]

1. At every high school graduation, everywhere in the USA, the speaker at the podium requests that the audience please withhold their applause and celebrations until all graduates have been introduced, so that each family can hear their graduate's name announced.

2. After about the first dozen names, nobody follows that request.

1. My in-laws used to bring noise makers

Then they kinda got in trouble for being the loudest ones in the room.

2. Pfft, idiot parents at my son's high school graduation set of sky rockets - I kid you not

Fortunately it was outdoors.

Cripes, that was four years ago and I'm attending his graduation this week at UCLA.

3. We have a small school so it doesn't matter.

Everyone gets applause.
