I'm glad to hear that not all of them have this problem. But maybe some of what you and SWTXBelle mentioned are what bothers me so much. I'm assuming that yours too might be a private school.
I really want to believe in public schools, and when things come up about how public school kids and parents can't act right, it really makes me sad in a bigger way than just air horns at graduation would bother me.
I don't want public education to only be for trashy people. But when you can't even conduct a graduation ceremony with decorum and seriousness, it makes me think that public education might really only be for the low class.
