This happened locally last Thursday, and it seems 35 high school seniors are learning that actions have consequences. I'd be very surprised if the local BOE doesn't cave and let the kids walk....
Dindu High ...can you imagine the outrage from the MSM had this been, *ahem*, reversed?? |
|
After looking at video of it on the school's security cameras, administrators told parents Saturday that their child will not be participating in the graduation ceremony.
Valeria Wells is one of the parents. She understands that consequences comes with every action, but she doesn't think that this punishment is fair. She is right, it is not fair. I say expel all 35 and let them come back next year. Stupid is as stupid does, but when we kick kids out for pop tart guns, yet let pranks that actually cause harm slide?!? BS!! |

I am a teacher and teach seniors. They do stupid stuff this time of year, but this takes the cake. I agree, they don't get to walk. Let them sit in the audience and hear their peer's names called - then, say what the little idiots did and call them out by name.
Maybe that's why I'll never be a Principal. |

Go figure, actions have consequences!
Learn it now instead of later when it's even more important than a high school graduation! Yes, your mother is disappointed in your actions, yes they have consequences and yes you will not get to walk for your diploma. The real world awaits you and repercussions for bad decisions only get more real and devastating. Learn it now, be sad, be disappointed in yourself and learn something. Absolutely zero empathy for the students or the parents. If it was my child he would have far worse repercussions at home that are longer lasting than just missing out on walking for graduation. |

God Damn, what a world of special snowflakes and butthurt fucktards we live in.
Squirt guns and water balloons for fucks sake. Make the little fuckers pay for the damage and perhaps do some community service, but allow them to graduate. A couple of people in a senior class ahead of mine didn't get their actual diplomas in high school until the next school year started. Fucked one guy out of a semester's worth of a scholarship. They mooned the student body during a lunchtime spirit assembly from the main stage of the outdoor theater. Starting the year before I graduated they started handing out rolled up blank paper in place of the diploma because dumbasses were doing stupid shit during graduation. |
| The town I live in is only about 2500 so graduating classes are usually only about 40-45. This years senior threw potting soil all over the school and even packed one of the bathroom toilets with enough soil that they potted plants in them. The 6 kids they knew were involved weren't allowed to walk during graduation and didn't as graduation was last weekend. One of the kids was even the superintendent's kid. |

Dindu High ...can you imagine the outrage from the MSM had this been, *ahem*, reversed?? The kids at the HS I graduated, many years before, came up with a good one. They released goats in the school, bid deal right ? The goats were numbered 1,2,4. School officials looked for 3 for a while ! No one was sent to jail, nor was anyone kicked out of graduation. |

From the article;
"We have parents that this is their first child graduating. You could never get another school graduation. High school Graduation is a once in a life time thing," said Wells. |

We burned Class OF 85 onto the roof of our school by pouring tar out in chalk outlines we drew, then set it on fire. We only did one letter at a time. Nobody saw it until Channel 9 out of Charlotte flew over the school in a helicopter to cover a ball game.
They did notice where we burned it into the grass though. We're a very small, rural town, and you could get away with a lot of crap back then too. We had 80 people in our graduating class. We got caught, but weren't punished, and got to graduate. |

From the article; I'm reading this to imply they've had a shitton of other children who didn't graduate. Quoted:

| Several of my classmates collected bagged leaves for several weeks and one night set up ladders to bucket brigade leaves across the HS roof to fill the courtyard. They were required to clean it up. No real damage or cost other than city provided a garbage truck. They walked at graduation. 1978 |

One year the seniors stacked used tires over the flagpole.
The flagpole is 60 feet tall. One year the seniors buried a Mk 38 practice bomb in the flower planter in the quad. They welded rebar in an X on the top of the bomb and then encased one half of the bomb in concrete. One year the seniors painted "Teenage Wasteland" on the roof of the gymnasium. One year the seniors "borrowed" the bell from Taco Bell (remember the old stores that had a mission bell hanging from the front facade of the building) and installed it on the door of the principal's office. One year the seniors dropped "a fuckton" of colored jello (that matched the school's colors) into the pool. No one got in any trouble over those pranks. 1974-1978 |

We did worse our senior year, had to spend a Saturday cleaning the school but it was worth it. Half the things we did as kids would get you arrested today - it's sad what we've become. |

Our senior class stole a 8' tall fiberglass Big Boy from the local Big Boy restaurant and stuck it in the middle of the swimming pool. Principal flipped out but they never figured out who did it. We threw water balloons on the last day of school but no one was punished for it. Times change.
Parents need to suck it the fuck up, your kids broke rules and got caught, they pay the price. |

when I graduated in 2004 we all had water guns under our graduation gowns
when we threw our hats up we had a big water gun fight right in the gym. we got some of our teachers too, but it was all grins. I grew up in a rural area. My highschool had about 350 students. about 60-70 in the graduating class. It was a pretty laid back area. Heck I remember when I was a freshman alot of the guys had camo and hunting rifles in cars in the parking lot during deer season so they could go hunt immediately after school. |
