When did high school graduations become so trashy?

Late 80’s early 90’s

Because Louisiana

Once they announced how many millions each kid got n scholarships

We went to a graduation last night. It was held at the school football stadium. Here’s what I observed.

1. Numerous people sitting in the stands holding massive bundles of up to 10 huge Mylar balloons, completely oblivious to the fact they were blocking the view of those seated behind them.

2. Prolonged hooting & hollering when their relative/friend had their name called. Several times this went on long enough to drown out the next graduate’s name being called.

3. Once their relative/friend’s name had been called people would begin talking & laughing loudly while the ceremony was still on going. This problem was made worse due to the fact the main PA system was not used. For some reason they instead set up to semi-large speakers that made it almost impossible hear even in ideal conditions.

4. People allowing their small children to get up to run around and play loudly on the grassy hill right next to the stands as though it was a Friday night football game instead of a graduation ceremony.

Oh and this is why you send your kid to private school. General public is trash

While there are private schools where this behavior is not going to happen at, not all private schools are above the idiot family members doing stupid shite during a graduation.

Not all private schools are equal.
