<p>It is always very polite and quiet like a tennis match until we get to about 100 of 500 grads. Then occasionally a group will cheer on their grad. Its kind of fun! Breaks of the monotony of the 6 seconds given to each name. The readers never miss a beat but continue on reading names. Honesly it is exhausting to hear…after they are all done, the cheering, airhorns , clappers etc all come out …mostly because it is OVER…no one more speech that no one wants to hear. Our sponsors tell the kids this is not for you , this is for the school. I disagree. These kids worked hard and should enjoy themselves so long as it stays in control and doesn’t PROLONG the event.
The school lost credibility when they asked for any kind of an apology. ridiculous. They cannot withhold these diplomas.</p>
