i hate it when people complain over stuff like this. 'walk across the stage, take the diploma, shake a hand, walk off. anything extra and you won't get your diploma'

it doesn't matter if you do a fist pump or take your dick out and breakdance. it ticks me off when they have rules like that but they don't enforce them, at my BA graduation there was a dude in shorts and sandals and they still let him participate, even though they clearly said they would refuse anyone in inappropriate dress.

If your not use to an Audience then it's only natural that mistakes would happen especially when you got 100+ on stage or on a field and this was obviously not intentional. The only one that is misbehaving is the administrators.

I say somebody should strip away his diploma.

this was at university, and it said really really clearly DRESS NICELY OR YOU WON'T BE ALLOWED IN THE CEREMONY where nicely was described as dress pants, shirt and tie for men and a formal dress for women.

who blows a kiss to their family? unless this guy is mentally disabled he was purposefully being a dick.

like honestly complain about the rules FIRST, you can't agree to the consequences and then challenge them once you break the rules, that's dumb.

no he deserved to get his diploma denied because those are the consequences for breaking the rules, he broke the rules because he was a dickhead.

this is really simple, if i said DON'T DO A BACKFLIP OR I'LL CUT OFF YOUR HANDS that would be a ridiculous rule but if you said OK DEAL and did a backflip you really can't complain when i CUT YOUR HANDS OFF.

yeah the rule is really really dumb which is why if you have an issue with it you don't agree and then break it. if someone offered you $10,000 to shit your pants and you agreed and did the dirty work it's completely unreasonable for him to say "well actually $10,000 is way too much here's $20 instead."

this is pretty simple stuff, PUT HAND IN TOASTER>GET SHOCK, SLEEP ON JOB>GET FIRED, GOOF OFF AT GRADUATION>YOU DON'T GRADUATE

this isn't unfair this is some xanqui being a dick who tried to call their bluff. the rules were really clear i don't get how this is unfair at all, in a situation where you loose your hands if you do a backflip YOU DO NOT DO A BACKFLIP

It was stupid and unacceptable to break the rules knowing what they are and that it would cost him his diploma.  It's not about the BLOWING KISSES part, it's about the "i knew better and still did it" part.

if I knew that blowing kisses was gonna make me not be able to go to graduation then I would have done it in a heartbeat.

He's still going to be able to pick up his diploma on his own right? Or did they just deny him four years of an education for something so ridiculously stupid?

No, what I don't get is why BLOWING KISSES would be against their rules. I would understand if he was breakdancing or backflipping on stage but Jesus Christ he just blew a kiss. Some teachers can be so anal about nothing sometimes.

Don't get me wrong, I understand the need for a code of conduct, and I've seen some shitty behaviour at graduations before.

But who knows, I'm just judging this off some lines in the story, chances are there is more to it.

I remember I got something like this. My attendance during the last year of high school was a little shaky, i think like 85%, and I wasn't allowed to go to the prom equivalent and that sucked because apparently it was great and wild and all of that. I'd like to run into the woman who wouldn't let me, Mrs. Watson, one day in a cafe or something and just drop a big booger in her cappucino.

because kids think of so many dumb things to do that you can't prohibit certain things, you absolutely HAVE to say "don't do ANYTHING AT ALL when you're up there"

Title: Kiss Costs Student Diploma
Post by: Rajew on June 18, 2009, 05:00:50 pm
Man, I got kicked out of my (high) school ~5 weeks before graduation, but they told me I could still walk at graduation as long as NO FUNNY BUSINESS went on. I went there, following all of their rules, being on perfect behavior, and was like "woo, I did it!" as I walked up to get my diploma.
BUT, my peers were not having any of that shit and decided to start chanting my name, and the principal looked at me very sternly and hesitated for a moment before he gave me my diploma. I...I almost didn't get it...

But yea, that is kind of a ridiculous rule. I mean, my high school's graduation has always had beach balls bouncing around, people cheering, doing backflips and stuff (yes people actually have backflipped before). They've always stated that stuff was against the rules but they never did anything about it. That high school is kind of just dickish.
I do understand where Climbtree is coming from, they DID agree to the rules beforehand, so it's their fault for breaking them. Also no dude should be blowing kisses to his family. He was breaking the rules on purpose to be a silly guy. He's not going to use that diploma for anything anyways
Title: Kiss Costs Student Diploma
Post by: Cray on June 18, 2009, 05:27:02 pm
If he still got his diploma, but just was denied of it in teh ceremony itself, then I see nor problem, I thought he actually got denied of it like no diploma at ALL.
and some of youi guys are a little anal about rules, we also had some rules for our prom, but nobody cared if we said hi to our families, or ran to the stage instead of walking or went up the stage without our jacket, or some stuff like that. Rules are mostly never 100% folowed, the problem is how much the people who set it should tolerate.

I don't think he got in trouble for blowing a kiss. Did you see the video of him? He pulled out fake Honour Student cords around his neck that he had hidden under his gown up until that time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJQaa5OqdVQ&feature=related

Around 3:36 he pulls out Honour Student cords, the reporter says that it was a special necklace. Notice the people sitting behind him with the same cords on.

Is this actually a thing? Graduation ceremonies being really strict? We don't have them in UK high schools and if we had I probably wouldn't have went but who gives a shit? It seems so obviously a ridiculous thing to be strict about I can't really believe it's a common thing. I can understand a couple of crazy principals getting all wild over it but is it common place to have a diploma snatched out your hand? I mean it's not as if it's the best soup place in New York City, it's just a graduation ceremony.

They make the rules to keep things from getting out of hand, which is perfectly understandable.  But in this case, the rules got out of hand because there was no reason to punish a student for acknowledging his family in a polite manner. 

I keep hearing the argument "THIS IS WHAT THE STUDENTS AGREED TO" but we don't know what exactly was in the 'contract.'  If it was something like "don't act up" then it depends on what the administrators perceive as "acting up," in which case this entire thing would be bullshit because blowing a kiss to your family is pretty much never considered that. 

But even if the agreement specifically stated something like that, withholding the diploma couldn't be worth it for the administration having to deal with this controversy. 

For those of you who seem to absolutely hate this kid, and take the side of the authority, would it make a difference to you if he was denied his diploma completely?  Or do you think that this INSANELY HORRIBLE TOMFOOLERY of blowing a kiss would be enough to rid him of four years of hard work completely? 

If you're just arguing that he should have been punished by having his diploma withheld until afterward, I can kind of see your point, but I think this was a pretty clear case of overreaction.

ahaha this video is so great
it was embarassing! he was humiliated! this is a once in a lifetime event and it was stolen from him! he stole his once in a lifetime dream of graduating with pride and honor
that's why the rules are there, to keep the ceremony prestigous. how proud a moment would it have been if there were beach balls all over the place and everyone was dressed casually? the father doesn't seem to understand that his son was stealing that moment from his 399 classmates.

Have you guys ever met highschool students? I live near a highschool. They are all douchebags, as far as I can tell. I know I was in high school! This guy looks like a douchebag. Doesn't he remind anyone of those Gotti kids, only without the hair? This entire ceremony was a joke to him until the moment the superintendent stepped in. Fuck this kid.

Seriously, how is anyone able to sympathize with this guy? There is literally no chance this guy has never done something that deserved punishment and got away with it. Can you imagine how awful it must be for the teachers and administration to have to deal with that many awful little bastards all day? Cripes.

Title: Kiss Costs Student Diploma
Post by: Vellfire on June 19, 2009, 12:03:19 pm
see there's part of me that goes "yeah that is an overreaction" but fuck high schoolers do too much shit when they're graduating, and the only thing you can do about it is NOT TOLERATE ANYTHING AT ALL

if you say "do not do anything at all except walk up and take your diploma" and they do something else, you have to call them out on it, because otherwise students don't think you're serious about this shit and will be releasing thousands of crickets in the building like it's such a cool idea

if you put yourself in the situation of the people in charge here, that's really what they have to do to keep order, i think the problem is pretty much everyone here is closer to the student's situation than the staff and so they can't see how the staff has to react to this

This is exactly the problem, man! A lot of kids just think whatever teachers say is true but you shouldn't respect their authority over you when the exact opposite is true. Teachers are wrong SO OFTEN it hurts but really they're just there to watch you for a couple hours each day so you're not burning down the city like restless teens are wont to do. Teachers are pretty much just mini authority figures and it doesn't take much to not break their rules. Some teachers are assholes, but oh well.

Plus this was the superintendent so as far as the school system goes you can't get much higher (if higher at all). If anyone had the authority to take away this kid's diploma it was her. In fact, she could take it away for good if she decided to!

If a teacher says "Stop fooling around in class or I'm going to FAIL YOU" and never fails anyone that is pretty much a guarantee that snot-nosed highschoolers are going to fool around as much as possible just because their brains are telling them to rebel as much as possible. Fail a couple kids and they'll snap in line! They'll grumble about it and post on Facebook about how much they hate their teachers but oh well.

Don't beat that guy to death
Oh you did it

And you got these supposed paid "adults" trained  to deal with these kids they get all anal and start freaking out "HE BROKE THE RULES HE BROKE THE RULES GET HIM" over something incredibly lame that did no harm to anyone she made a terrible judgment call and acted like the same stupid little kids that she were supposed to be dealing with in the first place.

To me this is almost like those snide teachers that let out racial slurs when they get mad at some dipshit kids in class and try to cover for it with "th-th- BUT THEY WERE ASSHOLES" or teachers that go out of their way to tack disciplinary actions and basically harass little punk kids that they know are little punk kids but aren't necessarily acting like punks when these teachers chase their tails around like some stupid asshole with a grudge....over....a...dumb....kid.

So what they did was sit us all in the auditiorium and basically said, "YEAH YOU'RE GRADUATING, GRATS.

and I do not remember anything like this happening at all because they all knew that guy was a dick and if given the chance he'd fuck with some kids hard just to feel good about himself. A few people tried to be funny but nothing too bad.

This is what Velfarre is saying. You have to establish that you're a "fucking dick" about these kinds of ceremonies for people to know that you're a "fucking dick" and are being serious when they say you're gonna get in trouble for being a douchebag!

well he kind of had to wait until graduation because this event HAPPENED at graduation, he couldn't be a dick about this kid any earlier

for all we know he probably wouldn't let other kids walk before the graduation too, there's usually a handful missing at every graduation because of this, this kid just made the news because of specifically what he did and that it happened at the event itself

it's kind of dumb that this is in the news in the first place, kids get denied graduation every year
