I'm a high school teacher in the south and this is all pretty true. The valedictorians' families are typically the quietest, and the kids who barely pass have the loudest parents. Also, airhorns. So.many.airhorns.

[@Sweedster]

Airhorns? My condolences.

[@AbbaZabbaOlyFrn]

Its funny how many people get pissed off at the loud families. Man! Let them enjoy celebrating this proud day embarrassing their kid

[@mamadeebuildsahouse]

Some people their kids are first time graduates in the family so they are proud. Some parents have been there and they are mad that their kids got into state instead of Harvard.

[@lh9591]

I was so jealous of the kids with loud families cheering. I wasn’t too popular and my family didn’t attend, it felt so silent and mortifying getting my diploma.

[@dogtrainer4645]

I'm sorry that happened to you.

[@charminglady2011]

I would have cheered for you.

[@sigira]

If it helps, unless you go to a very small school or are having the ceremony in a small space, it's hard to hear anything up on stage. You can hear it in the audience but on stage, it's more difficult. I'm not sure if people still do it but we had a problem in high school where the parents/audience would sneak in air horns to blow so the graduate could hear. So you can always pretend you had a crowd cheering you on who just forgot their airhorns.

[@worldcitizeng6507]

my family live in abroad so no one can attend because it'll cost too much. After my college graduation, I went to my part time job on campus still wearing my cap/gown. The good thing was that I didn't have any student loan debt because I work part time throughout college.

[@bootstrapbill1261]

People who celebrate a high school degree are people who won’t achieve much in life. I’d rather have not wasted time celebrating such mediocrity. If we didn’t force people to go to school graduation would mean much more.

@Andrea Potter They also had White Parents in this skit being loud, it's not a racial mannerism, it's a mannerism for low income families. Impoverished families celebrate the little things with more enthusiasm because the odds are stacked against them, so it's more of an accomplishment. My parents are Black, but they are successful and educated, so they do not behave this way. People only think the overly-celebratory behavior is a "Black thing" because most Blacks are in the low income category in the first place, due to centuries of discrimination. This skit isn't a stereotype of Black People, it is a stereotype of Poor or Underprivileged People.

My old high school had its graduation down to 45 minutes flat. The superintendent had it SO staged that it ran like a well tuned clock. Even the beautiful bound diploma covers were blank inside. The graduates picked up their diploma's later when they turned in their caps and gowns and assured "non rowdy behavior" during the ceremony. In MY opinion, that ruins it. My own graduation from the same school (which I spoke during) took a lot longer (about the same amount of graduates). But when I was handed that diploma, I had it right in my hands. My mother, who graduated from the same high school also, had hers on the football field. But that was already banned by the time I graduated and it still is almost 40 years later!

MADtv and SNL were basically two sides of the same coin. It's the fans online that try to claim that one is better than the other.

​@@canaisyoung3601 Well, obviously not *every* cast member is gonna be a hit on a long-running sketch show, and I wouldn't put MAD on "the same coin" as SNL just from that trait alone. I do agree that the MADtv/SNL-is-better discourse is unnecessary and overdone though; MAD fans in particular are never subtle about this when newer SNL fans couldn't care less, and I say that even though I'm more of a MAD fan myself.

My kid had a Covid graduation 2 months late and everyone was allowed to cheer like mad! No prom, none of the traditional senior year stuff. He was in the class that lost his senior year in high school and his freshman year in college. I feel horrible for all of them, but they are resilient. Finally having a life again.

[@Akaite79]

This really illustrates my theory that the louder the cheering at graduation the more surprised people are that the person is actually graduating...

I don't understand why, for YEARS now, they always say "no cheering or applause" when no one ever follows it! And why SHOULD they? Parents and families are PROUD of their kids as they SHOULD be! When I graduated high school almost 40 years ago, applause was allowed! As it was with my parents before me. Just let them do it!

I’m sorry 🎓-lovers, but I do NOT think aging out of the school system and its services and then having to get a job/enter the workforce- often in jobs with minimal vacation time in the year!- and having summer break and all other breaks taken away from you right at the end of college/university or high school the way you had recess taken away from you upon graduating from elementary school and transitioning into middle school, are things that merit applause and cheers and accolades. 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐

My graduation got cut short because of rain, I never heard more cheering when the principal announced that they were skipping speeches and just going to hand out the diplomas. Students and our families all cheered! The only ones that cried were the Valedictorian and Salutatorian because they couldn’t read their speeches. Apparently they did at some awards ceremony a week later, I only know that because my friend was getting an award and had to sit through it. He said I didn’t miss much.

[@lizzie9300]

Preschoolers and kindergartners have 🎓 ceremonies?!? That’s silly!! THAT IS JUST PLAIN SILLY!!! Honoring and applauding preschoolers and kindergarteners just for simply moving on to the next level of education- like elementary school/grade school!- is like honoring and giving them accolades for BREATHING! Recognition for something as small, and trivial, and inevitable as simply turning 6 and advancing on to grade school is SILLY because it is like honoring and recognizing someone just for BREATHING!! That’s SILLY!!! At a preschool 🎓 and at a kindergarten 🎓, I doubt kids that little would even understand/comprehend what is happening!

[@whatheyyo]

This would have been even more hilarious if Keegan played Coach Hines doing the graduation ceremony..I would have loved to see how the parents would have reacted to that!

[@melanieb4836]

LOL this had me in stitches. At my niece’s graduation, there was over 500 kids graduating and the parents and families acted like this. They were hooting and hollering nonstop, and throwing confetti. This was pre Covid. The poor announcer was losing his mind.🤣😂

[@retroguy9494]

And just what is wrong with that? At MY graduation almost 40 years ago, one could cheer. Now one cannot. Its a happy time and one only graduates from high school ONCE. Just build in extra time. And if parents can't donate ONE evening (or afternoon or morning in some cases) to such an event, something is wrong with THEM! ADHD perhaps. Its MY generation who HAD nice things which seem to want to ruin it for future generations.

[@melanieb4836]

@@retroguy9494 It’s rude, inappropriate, and makes some people uncomfortable. Especially kids that don’t have large families or any family there to support them because they financially can’t afford to take time off, are sick, or because the kids are orphans, or are foster kids. In addition, it increases the length of the ceremony, which in turn costs more money, and time of the staff and administration. I don’t know what kind of place your graduation was in, but hers was in an arena. They had to get a permit for it (which costs money. Violating the permit costs even more money, along with legal fees), not to mention security costs.

At my graduation, it was the graduates that did most of the cheering and hollering even before the diplomas were being handed out. There were also a few that blew bubbles. The valedictorians at the podium made hilarious jokes. The principal tried to calm everyone down, but we were having too much fun. I had been to graduations before, and I had never seen such noisy class as ours.
