Students denied diplomas because of cheering relatives

Seems like this is a golden teaching opportunity for the parents and guests. Maybe the entire ceremony needs to be revamped to promote the dignity they so clearly want.

It wasn't the students that disrupted the ceremony. Why punish them? Instead, give the perp family the option of performing community service, or they can let their graduating senior take the rap.

Well, when a kid screws up, the parent takes the heat, well, in this case, and many like it all over the country, everyone is told what will happen if they act up at the service. A few years back, a family caused so much of a disturbance, stalled the ceremony until the police came and escorted them out (about 15 minutes), and like here, tried to play the RACE card. Sorry, it wasn't your race, it was your behavior and disrespect for rules and other parents!!! Some say it is acultural thing , well what about respect for others, is that not part of this culture?? I ask you again, how would you feel if you missed hearing your child's name called because some asswhipe is blasting a air-horn and yelling like they were at a ballgame
