I love this time of year.

I went out for lunch the other day. The county uses the fair grounds for graduation. Many of the kids were coming in for lunch after the cermony.

The young ladies with their kids were extra special. I guess its good they got their diploma though.

Officials have yet to comment on what went wrong.

Public school officials went wrong, that's what. No personal responsibility combined with sadistic cruelty and indifference, controlled by the most fascistic arm of liberal politics.

What could possibly go wrong?

Well mothers, you sent your kids to the government yo train them. Don’t complain when that government showed you what they thought of you.

[a fool in paradise]

campus police said about 150 people ended up without a seat.

I have a novel solution, they should've played a game of musical chairs every 15 minutes, that way everybody gets a chance to sit down at some point.

Common Core math? It took 100 steps to figure out what the maximum was, but they gave up trying after 75 steps?

Sounds like someone reproduced the tickets and sold them at a profit.

"mothers were crying and stuff, they wanted to see their daughters graduate"

So they only locked out the mothers of girls? All the mothers of boys were allowed in?

Wait until Feminazi's hear about this.

Just went through a 2.5 hr graduation (held at Prestonwood Baptist Church) with the longest list of speakers for McKinney High School (total of three held today) and it took more than 45min just to clear the lot (some early comers for the next service was 2.5 hrs later) blocking traffic in every direction!

Anyone in neighborhood trying to go to lunch were going to be very late getting back to work! Traffic blocked on interstate for a very long time.

My daughter graduated last weekend. With the last name starting with a “B” I would have been happy to leave after she received her diploma. It would be even better if the speakers went after the ceremony.

We hold ours at the football stadium. If it rains then we have a problem. Have to go inside with each graduate getting 3 tickets for family. When there are families that want to bring everyone from mom and dad to their 25th cousin then it chaps some of them, especially of they drove from Guadalajara to be there.

Last time I went to a HS graduation, it was for my nephew. Too many stupid people disrupting the ceremony to cheer for their relatives who were probably handed a diploma to get rid of them.

[oldtech]

What I’ve seen happen here at graduations is that certain people somehow get tickets for all the in-town & out-of-town relatives they can find & they get the seats & for the others(often immediate family) it is standing room only.

[bgill]

too many tickets had been distributed

That's when the school board, administration and teachers give up their seats to the parents. Have the band stand outside the open doors to play, "Pomp and Circumstance." Seems simple enough but school administrators have too big egos to step down.

It’s California. What did you expect, competency?
