This gives me some hope! What did your school do to get these results?
I do think the size of the class is part of the issue.
Again, I regret that I seem so negative, but I really think those of you making such reasonable suggestions really have no idea what you are dealing with as far as irrational members of the public and how they deal with school officials. I get the feeling that Carnation does, but I'm sure we both wish we didn't.
It's not a really big section of the public school enrollment, in my opinion, but they pretty much ruin it for everyone else.
Some of the folks making noise are people who even when asked to leave aren't going to go until the cops come and get them, which let's face it, ruins the ceremony for everyone else even more.
They're going to test your authority time and time again. This school is trying to set up a policy in advance and then follow through to make the graduates choose their guests more carefully and to make sure that the guests know there are consequences that will follow if they act up.
I say more power to them and I hope they don't back down. If only five groups acted that way, it seems to me that the community will support the school's effort, and I hope they do. If they stick to their guns, they will be able to set the tone they want for graduation.
As far as it not mattering because it's high school, for some kids it's as far as they will go and they deserve a nice ceremony. Besides that, it's just not how people should act, period. You don't bring cowbells and air horns to ceremonies. We don't have to culturally dumb it down for the yahoos all the time, do we?
