For instance:
state law requires a kid to attend X number of school days per year or not graduate. Kid X attends meaningless ceremony a week or two prior to graduation and decides not to attend school anymore mistakenly believing that the meaningless ceremony meant he was done even though he was told otherwise before hand. another example: Kid attends meaningless ceremony a week or two prior to the end of the school year and decides that he doesn't have to take his final since he already received an empty container at the meaningless ceremony.
“I attended a high school which had a meaningless graduation ceremony a week or so before graduation. And it was made VERY clear before hand that we were expected,,,,”
You know, there’s something almost fine about it. The way you speak with such fullsome pride about state fakery, combined with threats, to uphold arbitrary state rules. Did the meaningless ceremony come complete with an accurately read canned speech the principal approved of? There’s nothing like the accurate faking of the true milestones of life. You have been trained well.
PS, if Hell offends you, be careful of this movie called “Gone with the Wind”. It’s a shocker! Vulgar i tell ya. Yessirree,,,
