June 6, 201214 yr Now THAT is a cheap shot LRCW, and rather beneath what I would expect from you! I'm quite disappointed, frankly. Did you even watch the report I'm referring to? Perhaps you should before posting such a ridiculous comment. Not a cheap shot at all, just the truth. Why do I need to watch the video? And I stand behind my comment that you wouldn't have made the comment if it were a Highlands student.
June 6, 201214 yr I agree that rules are rules, but do you honestly think an 18 year old kid can control how is guest are going to act when his name is called? There has to be a better punishment than denying the kid his diploma. From what I understand he or his family members can do the 20 hours community service! Question? If the young man is driving his or even the family car and lets say two of his uncles refuse to put their seat belts on, who gets the ticket if he gets stopped? Then again one of his Uncles throws out a bottle from the car and a officer of the law sees it, who gets the ticket? In both cases the driver is responsible for controlling his passengers. Doesn't matter if he didn't do it, he is the one who should have told his family members to please act responsible!

Doesn't matter if he didn't do it, he is the one who should have told his family members to please act responsible! That's a terrible comparison. If I'm driving a vehicle I can control who rides in the vehicle, and if they wear seat belts or not. The news story also stated that several teachers were cheering when his name was called. I guess he's responsible for how those teachers reacted too.
June 6, 201214 yr Handler says that vast majority of graduation attendees were respectful. "I can't tell you how many families said to me, 'Thank you so much, I was so fearful I wouldn't hear my child's name called,'" Handler said. She says no one should have been surprised about the consequences of bad behavior. "Parents did know all this information up front," she said. "They signed off saying I understand that this is what's going to happen." Handler says the Cornists signed the agreement with the school to conduct themselves appropriately. Traci Cornist says if she signed it, she never read it. She claims she was unaware of the policy, even thought she admitted to posting a message to Facebook stating, "We showed so much Support...That maybe we are about to be escorted out the building...Who cares my baby just graduated!"

The news story also stated that several teachers were cheering when his name was called. I guess he's responsible for how those teachers reacted too. He was responsible for the ten tickets he passed out to family members! From what I was led to believe, it wasn't the cheering but the continuation of the cheering that by many in attendance opinion, was way over the top!

Do you know if any of the continuation of cheering was done by the teachers?

So she didn't hear the announcement prior to the start of the event either and didn't she just wonder why so many other family were being respectful or did that just not matter to her!

June 6, 201214 yr Now THAT is a cheap shot LRCW, and rather beneath what I would expect from you! I'm quite disappointed, frankly. Did you even watch the report I'm referring to? Perhaps you should before posting such a ridiculous comment. It isn't a cheap shot on my part, but an honest observation of the student's very apparent difficulties. And to answer your allegation...if it WAS a Highlands student, there would have been no need to make my observation in the first place. Maybe the kid was nervous. Maybe he has dyslexia. You took a cheap shot at the kid, plain and simple, no matter how many times you edit your post. As for your comment if it had been a Highlands student, thanks for proving my point. :cool:

So she didn't hear the announcement prior to the start of the event either and didn't she just wonder why so many other family were being respectful or did that just not matter to her!Nobody with any common sense. That's why I support the school all the way. Although, I think the 20 hours might be a bit much. But their making a point of this is proper in my opinion.
June 6, 201214 yr Who signs something without reading] it' date=' in this day and age? [/b']So she didn't hear the announcement prior to the start of the event either and didn't she just wonder why so many other family were being respectful or did that just not matter to her! I know of about 200 or so a day.
June 6, 201214 yr Kid didn't do anything wrong yet has to do 20 hours community service to get his diploma. Rules are rules just like with the college day t-shirt.
June 6, 201214 yr I know of about 200 or so a day. And 200 more a day who don't listen as well? Come on after the fact she didn't read the paper she signed nor heard the announcement. Right!!!
June 6, 201214 yr And 200 more a day who don't listen as well? Come on after the fact she didn't read the paper she signed nor heard the announcement. Right!!! So punish her, and the others, including the teachers if they took part. Not the young man.
