Do you think this ceremony was a big waste of time?


532 kids from Bradley-Bourbonnais Community High School in Illinois went to graduation in an EMPTY AUDITORIUM after friends and family were BANNED from attending as family members had to wait OUTSIDE for them to come out.

They had to stand 10 feet apart and only 10 were allowed inside at a time as they walked across the stage to collect their diploma sitting on the table

They also had to wear masks while waiting inside and outside their families were in cars

The students were devastated over this way of ending their year because of the COVID-19 outbreak as Hunter Abrasser said "I can say i never thought i would have a mask on"

They only removed the masks when taking pictures for graduation as some students were thankful for this that the administration was doing something for their last year since they worked so hard to get there where most others cancelled graduation outright

Chris Benoit, who's son is graduating said he's glad his son is getting some kind of ceremony and would have loved to see him walk the stage

The superintendent was nervous about pulling this off but everything went smoothly and said the ceremony can be live streamed again May 16th for those who couldn't see it

Do you think this ceremony was a waste of time?.

That sounds super lame, and I don't feel bad that they got to graduate and skip out on a few months of going to school

I always feel like graduation's a waste of time, but if the kids in question (or, more realistically, their parents) wanted it to happen, this seems like a reasonable way to do it, provided attendance was optional for the kids that didn't want to take the risk.

For my bachelor graduation, I got explicit permission to bring more people along (default was 2), because it meant that much to that many of my family members who wanted to be there.

I think it's a waste of time normally when there isn't a pandemic preventing people from showing up. I don't want a ceremony for what amounts to a participation award.

It was probably this or nothing though because I doubt the school was offering refunds for the graduation fees.
