<p>doubleplay, if you had been at my oldest son’s graduation, well, it wasn’t polite applause that was the problem! However, I will admit it was more interesting than the graduations of my other two. And yeah, there was a lot of interesting dancing across the stage. Some very interesting dancing. That didn’t bother me. What bothered me was the overall rudeness of the audience, the random yelling, the yelling during the speeches (who knows if they were boring or not, who could hear?), and the threats that almost turned into a fight . . . But I don’t agree with punishing students for this behavior by the audience either. I don’t know. Maybe down on the stage it didn’t sound as obnoxious as it did where we were seated way up in the nosebleed section. Because if it had, they would have had to stop the ceremony. That’s what I’m thinking now, looking back on it.</p>
