on the one hand, very military, with bowing, saluting and white gloves on the principal and such.
on the other hand, very relaxed, with the graduating seniors wearing whatever they want.
and there weren't individual degrees for our approx. 135 graduating seniors. one of the K teachers said handing them out would take too long and would be tedious. (when i graduated back in 1997, all 350+ kids got their degrees individually. and in alphabetical order. which sucked because i'm a W. but i'm still glad it happened) |

Did the kids cover each other in eggs and flour? They did at my HS graduation.

They did last year but this year there wasn't any of that. No one showing up for graduation with blond or orange hair, either. After what happened last year perhaps they decided they had to put an end to that. |

no, there were no eggs or flour. (are they making graduation pancakes?) but at my bf's high school, one teacher just walked into the office coated in flour!
so they do that to teachers, too? or was he just collateral damage? |

| They do that in middle school too. Last year some of my kids looked like ghosts by the end of the day. |

Holy shit, I"ve never heard of that happening to a teacher. Last year several parents got a bit of egg splatter, though. This year I noticed that a number of vocational students weren't at the ceremony. I was wondering what was up with that, but the lack of odd-coloured hair and food fights might be in some way connected. |

| I just passed by some egg shells and egg splatter on the path to the cafeteria, so I gues there was a bit of that stuff, but nothing like the out-of-control spectacle of last year. |

the thing that gets me is how very few students went home to shower and change.
they walked around covered in flour! |
