In reply to the discussion: Arrest warrants issued for parents who cheered high school graduates [View all]mercuryblues
(16,443 posts)had a class of well over 300. She worked just as hard as the person in front of her to graduate with a 4.2 GPA. Only I did not hear her name called, because of the cheering. Why was the person in front of her more important or prouder than my kid or I?
Because of the size of the class there was no pause if people disobeyed the no cheering rule.
My nephew just graduated high school. He worked hard to graduate on time because he transferred into the district midway through his junior year and class courses were scheduled differently and some of his credits didn't transfer. He not only graduated on time, but he graduated with honors. Thankfully the person in front of him did not have cheers.
Cheering like that is incredibly rude, not arrest worthy rude. But pretty freaking rude.
Making them leave isn't really a consequence, since they already saw the person they wanted to get their diploma. As a matter of fact being asked to leave is nothing more than a bonus. They don't have to sit through the rest of the names being called.
