I taught at a school like this, and I would always give the kids doing this a Gran Torino Clint Eastwood stare because I knew 95% of them had a 3rd-grade reading level and were only graduating because our principal threatened our jobs if we failed them.

Tennessee high school graduates were met with torrential rainfall while receiving their diplomas.Though the rain wasn't ideal, "it made for an iconic graduation night," said Victoria Burls, whose daughter was graduating. "Everyone out there were mostly in high spirits and excited because it was still graduation night!"

This is Allen High School in Allen, Texas, just 25 miles outside of Dallas. Over 1,772 students were in the graduating class. 18,000 people were in attendance inside their football stadium. The graduation lasted almost 4 hours. 🥵The enrollment at Allen HS is well over 5k students. 😳Allen, Texas only has one high school. The school is huge. If you were passing it you would think it was a University. Many of the surrounding cities have one or two or more high schools, Allen has remained at one.

All the middle school kids and high school kids I talk to despise AI. They regard it as a tool for cheats but one they feel pressured to use. It reminds them of smart phones and social media and they want to get ahead of it this time.

This is ridiculous. The school should have organized graduation indoors. The graduates and their families deserved a nice ceremony.By the way, their parents are tax payers that fund the school and administrator’s salaries. Being treated this way should not be tolerated.
