    Just sat through a H.S. graduation

    I plan to pay off the next graduate so I can skip their graduation

      Last one for me, it was a beating. Could have just showed up afterwards and she never would have known the difference. 700 kids and called each by name and told where they were going to school......

        I did UT school of education at noon last Friday then made it to College Station graduation at 4.

          Man people act like their kid graduating high school is such a big deal. I pretty much expect everyone of mine to at least graduate HS and I’d be pretty freaking disappointed if they didn’t. Mine are in a smaller school though so graduation isn’t that big of a beating.

            The name calling for 500 students isn't the worst part for me...It's listening to the endless buttkissing and lies. Long ago it was stretching the truth saying how great everyone was(teachers, principle, supers, students etc) Now they go way too far overboard.

              They’re definitely brutal but it’s a big moment in their lives. I also haul *** after my kids name is called!

                I have one to go to next week that I almost didn't get to see so I'm not complaining.

                  I’ve been to everyone of my kids graduation. (7) Handed the majority of them their diploma. On the school board, so I’m still going. Average about 90 graduates. We have a bet every year to how long it will last. No speaker. A prayer before, 2 speeches(Valedictorian, salutatorian)each one walks across stage to receive diploma, ending prayer and walk out, never over 30 minutes. We have award banquets for the rest. Important to the kids so I enjoy being a part of it.

                    My son's HS was 500+ graduates - a real beating to sit through.
                    My daughter attending a small, private school, 20 or so graduates. Time spent on each kid was substantial (short slide show, etc.), but since we knew them all it was fun.
