    He was sent back to his seat sans diploma, it doesn't say anything about him being sent home sans diploma.

    I don't see how anyone can think that this rule should have been enforced, even if it was there.

    We had similar rules for our graduation (although I'm sure blowing kisses, bowing, etc. were fine). One of the students went and hugged all the people on stage (principal, subschool principal, counselors, etc.). Like big joke hugs (picked up the one female counselor, lol). That student was warned before hand not to do anything, warned at the rehearsal. He still got his diploma.

    No need to try to ruin anyone's day. Just let the kids have fun.

    Clearly the student will, eventually, get his diploma. I don't think that anyone is arguing that he does not deserve it nor that he has not earned it.

    The question is whether he deserved to have it given to him as part of that ceremony. The ceremony is a privilege, not a right, and as such rules agreed to should be followed.

    Even the mom admits that the kid was showboating. The more I read about this, the less of an issue I have with what happened.

    My intel says Bonny Eagle High School has weapons of mass destruction and possibly thermite or nano-thermite (if it exists).

    Should this thread be merged? :NOTMARIS:

    nano-thermite causes all threads to be merged at the "speed of gravity". You don't want to go there.

    Why should anybody be concerned, about anything that somebody else does, ever, as long as they are not violating somebody else's rights, or breaking the law, or doing damage to a company they are working for? Those are the only situations where such judgements should be made, but otherwise, you live your life, I live mine, and don't tell me how to live mine.

    LOL at this thread. A guy broke the rules. He didn't get to take home his diploma.

    If you don't fully stop at a sign before turning right, you can be pulled over.

    You can (and I have) received a ticket for going 63 in a 60.

    Were the authorities being pricks when doing this? Sure. Were they totally within their rights to do so? Yes.

    If your friend gave hugs and picked up counselors and got off free---good for him. If someone wanted to not give him his diploma, it would've been within their rights as well.

    Why his mom thinks showboating is was ok when she and her son signed a conduct agreement is beyond me.

    Q: Why is following the rules a military school thing only? A: It isn't--it's a societal contract. And if this kid and his mom got their feelings hurt because of it? Uh, no sympathy from me.
