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." But the administrators feel they were just enforcing the rules that students agreed to. At a meeting following the debacle, school superintendent Suzanne Lukas said that "if a student doesn't adhere to the expectations, then the consequences are clearly spelled out." This isn't the first time that rambunctious (dare we say "fun"?) behavior affected a graduation ceremony at Bonny Eagle. "Four years ago we had some issues with silly string and beach balls," said Lukas. |

How can blowing your mom a kiss be considered as not following the rules? This is getting out of hand when a simple gesture like that is considered misconduct. Fire that school adminstrator.

Make them prove it. Make them show EXACTLY where in the school handbook, rules of conduct for either the school OR the ceremony the exact words that you "can't show any type of affection/appreciation for your family/friends in the audience", more specifically your mom. I'll bet they can't. As long as it wasn't illegal or immoral behavior or gestures, I would say the school is screwed.

The problems with most school administrators nowadays is that they were all taken from the bottom of the barrel in terms of union teacher membership. They can't think for themselves, and they simply aren't capable of making clearly thought-out determinations as what PROPER courses-of-action should be taken.
Basically put, the student-in-question has done nothing wrong and shoulda been able to go through with the ceremony un-hindered. The student did nothing that could be considered obscene or out of place. If the kid either flashed his naughty bits, flipped off the principal (something I did when I graduated High School) or punched one of the faculty out, THEN I could see the kid gettin' busted. But he did nothing wrong, and as such he shouldn't be dealt with in such a manner. |

There were 600 plus of us, and you could hardly hear the speakers for the sound of liquor bottles hitting the floor and rolling down the steps. Then there were the number of folks wearing nothing under their graduation gowns. |
