Seniors banned from graduation

I think this is funny! and the fact that theyre holding their diplomas from them is kinda extreme

RebeccaCavin · Veteran Member

I am pretty much deathly afraid of crickets, so I would not find that funny! Whether or not the fine is too extreme depends on how much the school had to pay to get rid of the cricket infestation.

It's a little too extreme of a punishment, I mean it's a joke but 10,000 crickets is a lot of bugs to clean up

austinasch · Veteran Member

this is really funny, i would have loved to see this.

MaddieHill · Veteran Member

Yeah a $600 fine is too extreme for a cricket prank, but I do see how getting rid of 10000 crickets would be difficult.

Yes, it is funny, but they aren't holding diplomas. They are merely not letting them walk during graduation. They are still graduating as far as I can tell.

they deserved the fine and they should have been expelled i hope they don't walk

GregBender · Veteran Member

They are lucky theyre even allowed to graduate from the school, when crickets die they smell horrible and it's very hard to get the smell out. I understand it was just a prank but they have to pay for what they did... welcome to the real world kiddos.

this is way too extreme. I mean, how much damage can crickets really do?

They're holding the students diplomas until they pay the fine

I don't think it is extreme. That is so many crickets.... They should be punished for doing it. And I don't think $600 is too much of a fine, I think it is just right.

I think they should be able to walk but have to pay the fine its a senior prank its suppose to be funny. The money will go to the clean up that i understand. But being able to walk over a dumb senior prank that didnt cause anyone physical harm is too exstreme to me. just my thoughts

Well if these kids had the money to buy 10,000 crickets, then I'm sure they can cough up at $600 fine.

Ye Trek is right I think they are graduating but they just can't walk in the ceremony.

FergDog · Veteran Member

I understand that they arent letting them walk because of the prank, but to hold their diploma hostage until they pay the fine is excessive. Like Maddy said, how much damage could crickets do?

ashleyhightower · Senior Member

Their prank caused no one any physical harm and it's not like they have to rebuild the school or anything. I think not letting them walk was very excessive.

Sean Searcy · Veteran Member

I think they shouldve been able to walk at graduation.

MikaylaStarbeck · Veteran Member

They can walk as long as they pay the $600 fine
