    It was pomp and no consequence for a Pennsylvania high school student who took her her diploma and just kept on walking. Each of the graduates of Parkland High School in Allentown came on stage when their names were called and returned to their assigned seats... except for Tayler Michelle Gray. In a video that has gone viral this week, Gray proudly accepts her diploma and walks off the stage just like all the other students, poses for the official photo and then walked past her seat and out the door. #InsideEdition

      Mine consisted of over an hour of "practice" after the scheduled practice, and then was estimated to take over two hours, which it overshot a ton; I waited so long for my diploma, and still had to wait, and HOLD IT, for over an hour... they basically refused to give us our actual diplomas until after the ceremony, and admitted they would withhold it if we did something like this girl or even one of those celebrations such as throwing our hats up...

    When my daughter attended a graduation rehearsal for her high school, one of the students who had the highest GPA and was very overweight was heckled and called names by the students. Not one teacher or staff member tried to stop them. My daughter refused to attend her graduation in protest as she did not consider herself part of what transpired. Even the principal called her to plead with her to attend. A few days later her English teacher called her to applaud her stance. This happened at a high school in Arlington Texas many years ago.

    She got he diploma. She did what she came to do. Many kids grow up and learn many of their HS friends arent beneficial to them and arent true friends, so that's probably why she didnt care to stick around.

      It can be perceived as disrespectful if one considers that often each student is expected to wait their turn and to be present for those receiving their diplomas after them just as those in front of her waited for her. You lose an element of the ceremony and the impression of a "unified" class if people just peel away one by one. Not a great look for the people at the end of the queue to receive their diplomas.
      One graduates both as an individual and as part of a class.

      I think it was very rude and disrespectful... everyone in the room stays whilst all of their class mates graduate. Everyone is there supporting each other and celebrating as a collective. This one person leaving just sticks out like a sore thumb in a very "i cant be arsed staying to see everyone on the happiest walk of their life" way. She should have not been selfish and shown respect!

    • @MaddieNiec

      Maybe the other people didn't earn her respect? I honestly say good for her, I wouldn't care if someone walked out on my graduation ceremony and would probably do the same thing if I could. Why do I have to stay there and clap as each person after me gets their diploma, etc. it's not like they'd even notice I was gone. She got to get out and go to a restaurant she wanted to go to before everyone else started leaving, and honestly, if my family came down for my graduation, I'd probably leave early too so I could spend more time with them. I honestly don't see what the big deal is. I am also a person that believes that you should respect your teachers, classmates, parents, etc. but I don't see her walking out as a sign of disrespect.

      Ryder Washington Like maybe they weren't kind to her, etc. Everyone's saying it's "disrespectful" to walk out. You give respect, you get respect that's the way it is. I didn't necessarily mean respect, I guess, just maybe all the kids in her class were mean to her or something. There could be many reasons, obviously one of hers was to get to Applebees before the rush.

    • @MaddieNiec
      @MaddieNiec Před 7 lety +1

      Ryder Washington Yeah, so I guess I'd be one of those kids then, huh? Because if I could do that, I would. And trust me, I don't disrespect people in high school, I'm the shy misfit that everyone probably thinks is weird and nobody talks to. I definitely don't disrespect teachers and I for sure don't disrespect other students, though my guess is they probably make fun of me all the time. I absolutely hate school, and to be able to get out of the ceremony as soon as possible would be awesome for me, though I doubt my parents would ever allow it as their the ones that want me to go to the graduation ceremony in the first place, and I don't really want to. I am a senior in high school by the way.

    You can leave a party whenever you want. Same with an event like a graduation. She left quietly, and it’s not like she was expected to make a speech later on. My graduation was a boiling hot day on uncomfortable seats, and the speeches were truly boring to everyone in the crowd, so I can understand the desire to leave after the important part (getting the degree) is done. Her only failing was posting the video of her leaving early on social media.
