A Very Costly Kiss: Senior Denied Diploma

For teens, there is no greater joy than graduating high school. Shaking off the shackles of education and claiming that hard-fought diploma is truly an epic day. Unfortunately, for several students at Bonny Eagle High School in Maine, their natural exuberance has led to some surprisingly serious problems.

On Friday night, when the senior class was waiting to graduate, excitement began to grow. Students bounced a large inflatable rubber duck. The noise level rose. And then came “the kiss.” When called, one student walked on stage to receive his diploma and blew a kiss to his family. The school administrator, clearly not the sentimental sort, sent the student back to his seat … sans diploma.

The seemingly harsh punishment has sent the Web all aflutter. Searches on “student denied diploma” and “bonny eagle high school” are both through the roof. Additionally, blogs and news papers are chiming in with opinions on whether or not the administration overreacted. The student’s mother has given interviews and is quite upset at her son’s treatment. According to an article from Fox News the outraged mother said, “A bow, a kiss to your mom is not misbehavior.”

What crap.  All schools need to be closed and all schooling needs to be online.  No  one is gaining a useful education from the current system.  Stupidity seems to be the main export.

They must not offer classes in common sense to school administrators in that town.  Idiot.

The school admin needs a hard swift kick in the ass.

When I was in high school, I wanted to learn some skill trade and vocational skills like metal fabricating and wood shop. That is what high school should be. I was bored and high school started early.
