Students don't get diploma due to excess cheering from crowd
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070602/...uation_decorum
You know what, it saddens me of the lack of decorum we see here in graduation. I went to my sister's 8th grade graduation last week, and I was appalled at the lack of respect of the guest. I know it's only an 8th grade graduation, but still...
I have read a letter to the editor concerning this problem. I can't let you read it because I don't want to reveal the city because you guys will guess my school's name. But I tell you the letter in detail. The man and his sister-in-law was trying to shush up the people that were talking excessively. But the people had threatened them by saying "don't make me bring my hood out on you."
On another message board, there was this man who went to his son's graduation and there were excessive cheering that was constant.
I have seen other colleges come up with a system where if you make a whole lot of noise costantly, then you will get kick out from watching the ceremony. I wonder if they can do that in the schools. I mean graduation is a special time, and I hate it when people ruin it.
