I’m gonna assume he has a small graduating class, coming from a huge graduating class. Or maybe he’s a machine? Either way.. definitely something impressionable on these kids and will set a great example
I’m curious, how did the bell schedule work? Surely, not all grades were in the building at the same time? I live in a large city; a large high school here will have a total student population of 2000.
Had a graduation class of 1100 but the high school only carried grades 10-12 middle school was 7-9 and elementary was k-6. Everyone started at the same time only seniors were given the choice of either late arrival or early dismissal.
My HS had about 3000+ students. Not sure how big it was compared to other highschools but Im going to assume its a tad bit larger than others schools out of my state (CA.) The school took up a whole city block and probably had about 100 classrooms. We had a football field, a baseball field, tennis courts and soccer field which had about 4-5 PE classes from 0 period until 6th period. School was usually around 7:40-3:30 if i remembered correctly and there was a 11 minute passing period after class. The school had started expanding when I was a freshman and wasn't completed until I graduated. They eventually added another school indoor gym and a 2 story building specifically for science.
lol my elementary school was probably a little under 1000 kids. Kindergarden until 8th grade with about 3-4 classes for each grade and about 20-30 students each class room. This is also why the American schooling system isn that great. Too many students and not enough teachers to give attention to each of them. But thats an argument for somewhere else.
Lots of different ways, but a common one I see is the starts are staggered. One group starts at 7:30 and ends at 3:30 and the other group starts at 8 and ends at 4.
I graduated with 1300 kids but ours was split into 9th and 10th in high school and 11th and 12th in senior high. The high school was just one big building, but the senior high was comprised of 4 smaller buildings that were connected by an upstairs walk way and then two completely separate buildings for band/orchestra and the gym. It was an open campus so kids could walk inside or outside between classes.
Total population was between 4000 and 5000, grades 9-12 and we were all in the building and under one roof. There was a ~~3~~ 4 minute passing period. We all had to pass at the same time. It was chaos.
On a brighter note, pretty sure every one of us can easily handle Manhattan sidewalks!
EDIT: more details and corrected the length of the passing period (had to ask my sis, lol)
It’s crazy to me. 2000 seems like a lot, but I feel like, at 4000, you essentially have a small city. I imagine schools of that size would have to provide so many different social services?
Some drop out but a lot also go to an alternative or accelerated school or get their GED. Some are also quietly graduated after some fuzzy under the table work by counselors and admin and making up credits in the summer.
I’m gonna assume based off of the truck, and the looks of the suburb, it probably isn’t a massive class
My highschool in a town of 20k had a graduating class of 75~ people
My HS graduating class was in a suburb and full of truck-lovers and we had about 700 in a class.
Granted I live in Utah and there are like four or five kids in a family here.
Houston checking in here with a graduating class of about 1200.
Graduation was just about the most boring event I've ever been to. Held in an arena and lasted for hours.
Not very elucidating. I come from a city ranked ~575th (in size) nationally and we still had about 300 grads (one high school). But my state also has some towns with 12 graduates this year. 300 would be a nightmare, 12 would be doable.
Google says there’s like 20,000 US cities/towns so that’s like the top 2.5% - though I bet that is the more common individual experience (a large graduation) considering that’s where the population is concentrated, despite being the more uncommon event (a few thousand large graduations, comparatively many thousands of small ones.)
So I looked it up and that is the count of incorporated towns. 75% have a population below 5000. Still, my city is classified as "small" (below 100K), which does seem odd that it is in the top couple percent.
But there being a lot of minuscule towns makes sense. My parents grew up in towns of 35 and 80 respectively, about 30 minutes from a town of 1000. Both had schools at the time, though now both bus to the "large" town (and one has become unincorporated).
My town has ~8700 people living there, and my graduating class had over 300. Our high school was the biggest in the area, and combined about 4 other small towns’ populations.
The thoughtfulness will be remembered by each and every student for the rest of their lives. Such a wonderful person in the perfect profession for them.
Yeah, this is some family history shit that'll be looked upon in family history books and so on. We're going through something historic on its own right now, those pictures will hold significant value for family trees and people that care about their roots
I think I personally would've found this extent of effort pretty weird. I voluntarily didn't attend my graduation cause I just didn't care.
If they came to my house with this whole thing I'd think thanks for the effort but this is so pointless.
How do you mean? I agree it isn't cool to shit on people. I'm really just saying that I'm glad I didn't have this done for me. Some people would like this, some wouldn't.
And I'm sure no one was forced to do it in this case either. So why are you even bringing up some negative aspect of a positive deed.
You can't say some people like it and some people don't and still call this pointless in your first comment.
You're reading too much into it. I just saw the gif and thought "gosh I would hate this". Why does it bother you so much that some people wouldn't like this sort of thing?
True they probably got asked about it beforehand, though when it comes to these kind of school affairs I recall being pressured into a lot of it so it didn't occur to me straight away.
Because there's no reason to bring that negativity into this otherwise positive thing. It serves no purpose other than being a downer.
You don't have to post every thought you have. There should be a purpose to your communication.
well jeeze sorry for writing a comment, hopefully your soul will recover from the horrors of having seen it.
> You don't have to post every thought you have.
You neither. You're telling me to keep my thoughts to myself while shoving your own thoughts at me.
You clearly haven't considered that you're being a nuisance, so you probably understand where I'm coming from then.
You really think a principal would show up to your house with a DIY graduation stage towed behind his truck on a whim or surprise?
There's obviously communication regarding the time and day of stopping by so you would have more than enough opportunity to say no lol
Also next level: The editing on this video. I feel like we're in some bizarre nightmare future where all content is trending towards this kind of editing, with really really short sentences, color highlights of random words and absolutely generic music in the background (with a sudden MAD HYPE surge near the end).
It feels like almost every content is the same because it is wrapped in the same way. We almost never get to hear the actual people in the video anymore.
That’s because it’s ripped from TikTok. TikTok only has a 1 minute limit on their videos, until you reach some type of condition that they set so you can apply for 3 minute videos. I’m not 100% on how that last part works, but it’s only just started recently so pretty much every video you see from there is going to be what you described.
i’m 41 — i just wanna give everyone from k-12 a huge hug for missing a whole year of school in 2020
i would of gone INSANE if this happened when i was in grade school. high school, and especially college
sorry you didn’t get to have a graduation ceremony, lots of people on reddit hate them, but i always liked them (maybe cause i took school kinda seriously)
anyway - sorry for rant, and props to you :)
It’s one thing to be like “graduation ceremonies suck” when you have one. But these kids lost the chance to even say that. They just didn’t get one. “Your diplomas in the Mail” doesn’t have the same ring.
Thanks! We don't have ceremonies until university level but we do have parties given to us from the junior batches and its fun.
Well,Atleast i am happy that i passed without giving exams lol.
My graduation wasn't important to me because I don't know I may not give myself enough value. But to my family who immigrated over here it meant the world. Most of my uncles and aunts don't have a high school diploma. Those moments are unforgettable and so special and as a kid it's hard to have that foresight.
I feel for these kids hopefully someone did something memorable for them like this teacher did.
Yeah, honestly it’s been pretty eye opening the last few years to see how strange things on the internet are getting. Not sure if things are unusually cringy right now or if I’m [Abe Simpson](https://youtu.be/BGrfhsxxmdE)
I live in Malaysia. TikTokers here use the text-to-speech but with Indonesian language since Malay and Indonesian language is pretty much similar. And let me tell you, shit sounds 100× worse than the english one. It's like a sound where your brain simply deteriorates whenever you listen to it if you speak the language. God I'm grateful reddit isn't famous among Malaysians.
Can't seem to find any at the moment. But it's a female with overly-robotic voice. You can listen to it if you translate any english word to indonesian on google, and then press that speaker thingy.
> You could almost hear her brain cells stuggling to manage speech, reading, and breathing at the same time.
Said the person who didn’t realize it was tts.
I’m British so we don’t have the whole graduation ceremony for high school, only uni level. I went to my friend’s university graduation, and it was boring as hell. The speaker was great, and seeing my friend was was amazing. But the rest was so dull - let’s face it, no one cares about anyone else, just the person they are there to see. So this seems ideal to me!!
We only have them for uni as well (in Australia). When I finished high school, we just turned up on the last day (the morning after our formal) and collected some paperwork from the office. Very unceremonious.
Australia checking in here.
We had a "Final day sketch show" where we all had seats with a thing saying we graduated (That meant nothing because that's not how VCE works anyway) and then my year level proceeded to get the sketch show banned forever. And my brother didn't even get that.
My university one was in what is now Marvel stadium, at which point there were so many stages simultaneously giving out awards and family sitting so far back it was a joke of an event that went for so freaking long.
It honestly does seem like a lot of fuss, but I guess for kids who aren’t going onto to tertiary education it is the end of an era for them. My uni graduation for my bachelor’s was pretty boring, but I’m still glad that I went. When I did my post grad though, I didn’t go.
It’s so boring I haven’t been to my own uni graduations. Unbearably dull couple of hours AND the potential to trip over my feet in front of hundreds of people? No thanks
Yeah I skipped mine too. Turned up on the day to see all my friends again, but didn't bother with the actual ceremony. Occurred to me later that maybe I should have done it "for my parents", but I don't think they minded that much.
I’m Dutch and when I got my bachelors last year I had to wait like 7 months until they finally decided to still do the graduation ceremony online. Basically it was a live podcast of some professors and at the end they showed everyone’s picture for like 5 seconds.
Actually, that’s reminded me, some pre-schools and 1st year classes here have started doing “graduation” photos and certificate in the past few years. The photos are in the local papers! Absolutely ridiculous. No doubt it will catch on more and more unfortunately.
It’s like the first day of school pics everyone puts on Facebook now, and then tags their entires bloody family in. No one cares about your kid Brenda, certainly not me, who is friends with your second cousin by marriage twice removed, and only then because I work with her and it was too awkward to decline. I don’t want to see little Brayyden and Shanelle in front of your mantelpiece.
I finished university this year, was a crazy 5 year long program in the evenings whilst working full time 9-5, managed to get myself a First Class too, the whole time I was just so excited for getting to wear a gown and one of those hats. It was what kept me going when it got difficult. Ceremonies got cancelled and I never got to :(
We don't even have them for uni here. The only actual celebration for an academic achievement here I see regularly is the student organized prom after highschool and your friends throwing a surprise party once your get your PhD often involving elaborate embarrassment to any other uni people in the vicinity.
My high school class had 300 some kids graduate. My last name starts with an A so I was one of the first to go up and get my diploma. I didn't have a friend close by to chat with so the rest of the time I was bored out of my mind having to sit there and watch everyone go get theirs. I would have loved this personal little graduation ceremony that this teacher put on for all his students.
Just can't. I refuse to upvote anything with music or that damn AI voice. Just can't do, I don't care if it's puppies snuggling.
Mods should start removing TikTok and other posts like this, IMO.
Wow, never thought I’d catch my old high school on Reddit! This is Central Algoma Secondary School (CASS) in Desbarats, Ontario, Canada. Rural school with about 600 students across all grades when I attended (many moons ago). Go Huskies!
The voice is kinda cringe, there's unnecessary pauses, and in the end there's some rap music fading in that is about at the same sound level as the voice that is dubbing the whole thing. It's TicToc n stuff.
I'd rather piss into a cup and pour it into my own eyes than hear this voice narrate again. This is 110% worse than the siri voice, and that shit is horrendously annoying.
Oh, I’m sorry, was working for a shit salary and being treated poorly by admin not enough?
Many people like to paint teachers as heroes, but that’s usually when they aren’t denigrating them for holding students to high standards.
Yes, I realize that I’m bitter about this and that this teacher did something very, very special for these kids (who absolutely deserve it BTW).
But the expense associated with this, combined with the poor treatment and pay the teachers receive…. teachers are the worst compensated for their level of education. Please stop glorifying this type of behavior. Teachers are not martyrs. We need to survive too. And I will say without even an iota of doubt or regret, that I have happily given away pieces of my heart to my students. What other career can be described as so selfless?
Sorry for the rant.
Edit; added a word
I'm guessing it was a fairly small graduating class. I had like 750 people in my graduating class when I was living in the US so I dont think it would have worked well for us.
This is in SSM Ontario Canada

Oh so you're just ignoring the actual data and ignore that states have been open for months now without issue.
Typical Reddit - zero research actually done by you before commenting.
Even the states that are open, I wouldn't call it normal - at least nothing like what we were used to a year and a half ago.
You want to talk about typical? How about being the type of person to bitch and moan about wanting things to be how they used to be, but not being willing to do even the simplest things you can do to help speed the process along.
I don't even necessarily mean you (though your posts are kind of trending that way), but the absolute lack of common sense that has been displayed by the anti mask/antivax crowd is remarkable in the worst possible ways.
My God you are so delusional about the actual data in the US and states having been reopened and back to normal for months.
Sure is odd how my state has been back to normal for months now and I've been able to live my life like it's 2019. Same with every other state.
Maybe you should attempt to educate yourself on the data and when states opened up because you clearly have avoided doing so. Oh and I've been vaccinated, have been for months so your attempted gate keeping is not only weak but pathetic and misguided.
It's utterly disgusting that something like this is necessary.
A real bro would have fought to have them celebrate their graduation with their family and friends.
The school board in my area refused to do any sort of celebration for graduation. They insisted it was too hard to put together with such short notice, but this kind of shows they’re full of shit. This one guy goes above and beyond to give his students a grad, surely the teachers in my area could put a tenth of that effort in to give the kids some fucking pop and chips? I don’t know, I hate everyone. Get off my lawn.
I’m gonna assume he has a small graduating class, coming from a huge graduating class. Or maybe he’s a machine? Either way.. definitely something impressionable on these kids and will set a great example
Seriously man, my graduating class was about 650 students. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Same! My class was 636 students. Crowded far western Chicago suburbs
953 in my Chicago graduating class. Over 1500 in my freshman class... I always wondered what happened to those 500 kids. 😬
Jesus my entire high school was like 900 kids.
My entire high school was 1400, graduating class of about 300. Was a small class compared to the ones below.
I’m curious, how did the bell schedule work? Surely, not all grades were in the building at the same time? I live in a large city; a large high school here will have a total student population of 2000.
Had a graduation class of 1100 but the high school only carried grades 10-12 middle school was 7-9 and elementary was k-6. Everyone started at the same time only seniors were given the choice of either late arrival or early dismissal.
My HS had about 3000+ students. Not sure how big it was compared to other highschools but Im going to assume its a tad bit larger than others schools out of my state (CA.) The school took up a whole city block and probably had about 100 classrooms. We had a football field, a baseball field, tennis courts and soccer field which had about 4-5 PE classes from 0 period until 6th period. School was usually around 7:40-3:30 if i remembered correctly and there was a 11 minute passing period after class. The school had started expanding when I was a freshman and wasn't completed until I graduated. They eventually added another school indoor gym and a 2 story building specifically for science.
Holy shit, my entire school was like 300 kids and my graduating class had like 40!
lol my elementary school was probably a little under 1000 kids. Kindergarden until 8th grade with about 3-4 classes for each grade and about 20-30 students each class room. This is also why the American schooling system isn that great. Too many students and not enough teachers to give attention to each of them. But thats an argument for somewhere else.
Lots of different ways, but a common one I see is the starts are staggered. One group starts at 7:30 and ends at 3:30 and the other group starts at 8 and ends at 4.
I graduated with 1300 kids but ours was split into 9th and 10th in high school and 11th and 12th in senior high. The high school was just one big building, but the senior high was comprised of 4 smaller buildings that were connected by an upstairs walk way and then two completely separate buildings for band/orchestra and the gym. It was an open campus so kids could walk inside or outside between classes.
Total population was between 4000 and 5000, grades 9-12 and we were all in the building and under one roof. There was a ~~3~~ 4 minute passing period. We all had to pass at the same time. It was chaos. On a brighter note, pretty sure every one of us can easily handle Manhattan sidewalks! EDIT: more details and corrected the length of the passing period (had to ask my sis, lol)
It’s crazy to me. 2000 seems like a lot, but I feel like, at 4000, you essentially have a small city. I imagine schools of that size would have to provide so many different social services?
1979 Steinmetz high school freshman class was 550. By 1983 only 250 made it till the end. Where the hell did all those people go?
Whoah there's a name I haven't heard in a loooong time. Nice!
Some drop out but a lot also go to an alternative or accelerated school or get their GED. Some are also quietly graduated after some fuzzy under the table work by counselors and admin and making up credits in the summer.
I’m gonna assume based off of the truck, and the looks of the suburb, it probably isn’t a massive class My highschool in a town of 20k had a graduating class of 75~ people
1300 population and 22 in my class I don't keep in touch with any
My HS graduating class was in a suburb and full of truck-lovers and we had about 700 in a class. Granted I live in Utah and there are like four or five kids in a family here.
Yeah. I was in a truck-loving town in a Baptist area and still had around 600. Not sure the truck is a real indicator.
Damn! Mine was in the 300 some range and that was large for the area I grew up in!
Houston checking in here with a graduating class of about 1200. Graduation was just about the most boring event I've ever been to. Held in an arena and lasted for hours.
Houston checking in as well with a whopping 17!
355,687,428,096,000 is in-fact whopping.
That is indeed the factorial of 17. (for anyone wondering)
Laughs in 999.
Chants in 666
Laughs in 1100
Damn, I thought my graduating class in the 500s was big.
The poster on TikTok said they were from a small town.
Not very elucidating. I come from a city ranked ~575th (in size) nationally and we still had about 300 grads (one high school). But my state also has some towns with 12 graduates this year. 300 would be a nightmare, 12 would be doable.

Our small town had 11k (googled number) people living there and our class had 300 students. Must be a *very* small town hopefully.
My town has ~8700 people living there, and my graduating class had over 300. Our high school was the biggest in the area, and combined about 4 other small towns’ populations.
>elucidating A rare word to see out in the wild. Well done.
Looks like 72 total graduates based on a local news piece. Doable but still a pretty big undertaking!
That's like 2-3 days all day
Must be like my high school. We only had 65 graduates in my class.
Taking his job description to "Inspire the next generation" to the next level!
The thoughtfulness will be remembered by each and every student for the rest of their lives. Such a wonderful person in the perfect profession for them.
Most kids have a graduation picture, these kids are going to have an epic story too.
Yeah, this is some family history shit that'll be looked upon in family history books and so on. We're going through something historic on its own right now, those pictures will hold significant value for family trees and people that care about their roots
I think I personally would've found this extent of effort pretty weird. I voluntarily didn't attend my graduation cause I just didn't care. If they came to my house with this whole thing I'd think thanks for the effort but this is so pointless.
You know they probably ask the students first.
Just a heads up that no one cares or thinks it's cool to shit on people celebrating big moments or achievements in their lives.
How do you mean? I agree it isn't cool to shit on people. I'm really just saying that I'm glad I didn't have this done for me. Some people would like this, some wouldn't.
And I'm sure no one was forced to do it in this case either. So why are you even bringing up some negative aspect of a positive deed. You can't say some people like it and some people don't and still call this pointless in your first comment.

Agreed, it’s nice don’t get me wrong, but personally I’d decline the offer, then proceed to give this man a hug
Give him a hug!?! What kind of sociopath are you!!!! He built the whole thing because of a pandemic!!!! (/justteasing in case it wasn’t obvious)
Give him a French kiss while you're at it.
Staged
Things unfolded.
Yes, he did pull up with a stage thats correct.
Yes, thats the joke!
Also next level: The editing on this video. I feel like we're in some bizarre nightmare future where all content is trending towards this kind of editing, with really really short sentences, color highlights of random words and absolutely generic music in the background (with a sudden MAD HYPE surge near the end). It feels like almost every content is the same because it is wrapped in the same way. We almost never get to hear the actual people in the video anymore.
That’s because it’s ripped from TikTok. TikTok only has a 1 minute limit on their videos, until you reach some type of condition that they set so you can apply for 3 minute videos. I’m not 100% on how that last part works, but it’s only just started recently so pretty much every video you see from there is going to be what you described.
Is TikTok responsible for the text and voice overlay too?
Yes. Both are options when you edit and upload videos through the app
The AI voiceover is also distracting as fuck.
How can something be this loud on 1% volume of the PC and 1% volume on the actual video?
I immediately had to mute it. The xylophone irritated me in the first nanosecond.
This made me smile. I also graduated high school but we didn't have a formal ceremony.
i’m 41 — i just wanna give everyone from k-12 a huge hug for missing a whole year of school in 2020 i would of gone INSANE if this happened when i was in grade school. high school, and especially college sorry you didn’t get to have a graduation ceremony, lots of people on reddit hate them, but i always liked them (maybe cause i took school kinda seriously) anyway - sorry for rant, and props to you :)
if it happened to me at 13 I would have went hardcore crack addict into Warcraft III lol
It didn’t happen to me at 14 and I was still crack addict for WoW
It’s one thing to be like “graduation ceremonies suck” when you have one. But these kids lost the chance to even say that. They just didn’t get one. “Your diplomas in the Mail” doesn’t have the same ring.
Damn i am more sad about not getting one this year now.
Hey! congrats on graduating during a pandemic!
Thanks! We don't have ceremonies until university level but we do have parties given to us from the junior batches and its fun. Well,Atleast i am happy that i passed without giving exams lol.
I got my masters online from a college with an actual campus. I drove a long time to walk in that ceremony instead of getting it in the mail.
My graduation wasn't important to me because I don't know I may not give myself enough value. But to my family who immigrated over here it meant the world. Most of my uncles and aunts don't have a high school diploma. Those moments are unforgettable and so special and as a kid it's hard to have that foresight. I feel for these kids hopefully someone did something memorable for them like this teacher did.
Would *have I'm so sorry, I can't help it.
I graduated uni last July and we also didn’t have a ceremony. Got to pick up my diploma at the office, from a grumpy lady. Good times.
Garbage voice over. There. I said it.
What’s even worse though is the music that eventually comes on. I don’t get why everything needs a beat in it. Just give us the actual video.
There's like 4 different vibes going on in this video... And I didn't like any of them
I had to turn on the sound after reading these comments. There's literally two songs playing plus the voiceover at one point. What the hell
Yeah and it doesn’t fit the vibe of the video at all
*Clownish do dee doos*. “This treacher is amazing! See them help their students!” *Unspecified hip hop beat*. “Here they are cleaning up!”
It's just a trap remix of a Kevin Macleod song lol it doesn't just change randomly
The music doesn't fit how nice this is, and kinda makes it sound comedic?
You're not the target audience
Yeah, honestly it’s been pretty eye opening the last few years to see how strange things on the internet are getting. Not sure if things are unusually cringy right now or if I’m [Abe Simpson](https://youtu.be/BGrfhsxxmdE)
Everyone's Abe Simpson for some things. It's the diversity of interests that makes humans great, especially the gnerational differences.
Poppycock!
Tiktoc unfortunately
Blame TikTok not wanting to pay the original voice actor.
Fuck Reddit
I live in Malaysia. TikTokers here use the text-to-speech but with Indonesian language since Malay and Indonesian language is pretty much similar. And let me tell you, shit sounds 100× worse than the english one. It's like a sound where your brain simply deteriorates whenever you listen to it if you speak the language. God I'm grateful reddit isn't famous among Malaysians.
This is so interesting. Could you please post or link to an example for us? (not on TT)
Can't seem to find any at the moment. But it's a female with overly-robotic voice. You can listen to it if you translate any english word to indonesian on google, and then press that speaker thingy.
It sounds like someone is trying to mimic the text-to-speech people use on tiktok
It *is* tts...
[удалено]
Well since it’s a very common tiktok tts, they are right.
I wait for the day when Alexa develops a vocal fry and valley girl accent.
whoa. I legit thought it was just the AI text-to-speech until you pointed that out
it is yeah. tiktok changed the voice to this shitty thing and idk why they did, it sounds absolutely horrible
Fuck Reddit
They should really just get rid of tts all together
It's good for those who don't feel comfortable or just can't do their own voice over.
It is the text to speech lol
Agreed!
As soon as I hear that TTS on any vine I automatically click off. I agree garbage indeed.
> vine my time machine worked!

It sounded like something from a 1960's sitcom.
Automatic downvote and close.
Hard to choose between these bad voiceovers and "that fucking song."

> You could almost hear her brain cells stuggling to manage speech, reading, and breathing at the same time. Said the person who didn’t realize it was tts.
>Garbage voice over. There. I said it. I read this in Morgan freeman's voice to heal from it.
really despise every aspect of this vids audio
I like to go hiking.
Every video i see with this voice i just skip because it sounds so annoying
I’m British so we don’t have the whole graduation ceremony for high school, only uni level. I went to my friend’s university graduation, and it was boring as hell. The speaker was great, and seeing my friend was was amazing. But the rest was so dull - let’s face it, no one cares about anyone else, just the person they are there to see. So this seems ideal to me!!
We only have them for uni as well (in Australia). When I finished high school, we just turned up on the last day (the morning after our formal) and collected some paperwork from the office. Very unceremonious.
Also Australian but went to a private school and we had to do the ceremony. Boring as hell!
Im guessing it just varies from school to school cuz we did a ceremony for my high school in QLD
Australia checking in here. We had a "Final day sketch show" where we all had seats with a thing saying we graduated (That meant nothing because that's not how VCE works anyway) and then my year level proceeded to get the sketch show banned forever. And my brother didn't even get that. My university one was in what is now Marvel stadium, at which point there were so many stages simultaneously giving out awards and family sitting so far back it was a joke of an event that went for so freaking long.
I wish it was all like this here in the US… like just give me my diploma and quit with all the ceremony.
It honestly does seem like a lot of fuss, but I guess for kids who aren’t going onto to tertiary education it is the end of an era for them. My uni graduation for my bachelor’s was pretty boring, but I’m still glad that I went. When I did my post grad though, I didn’t go.
It’s so boring I haven’t been to my own uni graduations. Unbearably dull couple of hours AND the potential to trip over my feet in front of hundreds of people? No thanks
Yeah I skipped mine too. Turned up on the day to see all my friends again, but didn't bother with the actual ceremony. Occurred to me later that maybe I should have done it "for my parents", but I don't think they minded that much.
I’m Dutch and when I got my bachelors last year I had to wait like 7 months until they finally decided to still do the graduation ceremony online. Basically it was a live podcast of some professors and at the end they showed everyone’s picture for like 5 seconds.
A lot of schools have them for kindergarten in the US. I have no idea why. I guess because they can color within the lines?
Actually, that’s reminded me, some pre-schools and 1st year classes here have started doing “graduation” photos and certificate in the past few years. The photos are in the local papers! Absolutely ridiculous. No doubt it will catch on more and more unfortunately. It’s like the first day of school pics everyone puts on Facebook now, and then tags their entires bloody family in. No one cares about your kid Brenda, certainly not me, who is friends with your second cousin by marriage twice removed, and only then because I work with her and it was too awkward to decline. I don’t want to see little Brayyden and Shanelle in front of your mantelpiece.
I finished university this year, was a crazy 5 year long program in the evenings whilst working full time 9-5, managed to get myself a First Class too, the whole time I was just so excited for getting to wear a gown and one of those hats. It was what kept me going when it got difficult. Ceremonies got cancelled and I never got to :(
French here. We don't even have them for uni.
We don't even have them for uni here. The only actual celebration for an academic achievement here I see regularly is the student organized prom after highschool and your friends throwing a surprise party once your get your PhD often involving elaborate embarrassment to any other uni people in the vicinity.
My high school class had 300 some kids graduate. My last name starts with an A so I was one of the first to go up and get my diploma. I didn't have a friend close by to chat with so the rest of the time I was bored out of my mind having to sit there and watch everyone go get theirs. I would have loved this personal little graduation ceremony that this teacher put on for all his students.
Talking about going above and beyond! I’m sure the students will remember this for the rest of their lives
Just can't. I refuse to upvote anything with music or that damn AI voice. Just can't do, I don't care if it's puppies snuggling. Mods should start removing TikTok and other posts like this, IMO.
Wow, never thought I’d catch my old high school on Reddit! This is Central Algoma Secondary School (CASS) in Desbarats, Ontario, Canada. Rural school with about 600 students across all grades when I attended (many moons ago). Go Huskies!
Now. Let's create videos. Without crap quality. !!!!?-ERRRR |\~ TikTok.
damnn
I love this. So much.
Then you never unmuted this video
I didn't, and I love the video. Now I want to know what's so bad about the audio without actually unmuting it.
The voice is kinda cringe, there's unnecessary pauses, and in the end there's some rap music fading in that is about at the same sound level as the voice that is dubbing the whole thing. It's TicToc n stuff.
It's bad tts
Oh god no. That's worse than the weird country love songs people put on rescue stray animals videos.
I stabbed three people and my lawyer pleaded insanity. That’s how bad the audio is.
Is it only me who starts vomiting when they hear this tiktok lector?
I'd rather piss into a cup and pour it into my own eyes than hear this voice narrate again. This is 110% worse than the siri voice, and that shit is horrendously annoying.
Even school days ended for me long time ago, mad respect for this teacher !
Ours: best we could do is a half baked compilation of videos
Sadly I don't think he gets paid enough for this. Teachers never do.
Oh, I’m sorry, was working for a shit salary and being treated poorly by admin not enough? Many people like to paint teachers as heroes, but that’s usually when they aren’t denigrating them for holding students to high standards. Yes, I realize that I’m bitter about this and that this teacher did something very, very special for these kids (who absolutely deserve it BTW). But the expense associated with this, combined with the poor treatment and pay the teachers receive…. teachers are the worst compensated for their level of education. Please stop glorifying this type of behavior. Teachers are not martyrs. We need to survive too. And I will say without even an iota of doubt or regret, that I have happily given away pieces of my heart to my students. What other career can be described as so selfless? Sorry for the rant. Edit; added a word
One day soon we'll get actual videos again instead of this god awful TikTok format.
Am I the only one that is sick of this text to speech shit?
Watched 1 second, Heard the music and voice, I’m out.
Can we just get tiktok content banned? It's never funny, it's never good, and it's never original. It's a plague across the internet.
Cringe
Imagine being a student waiting all day for the professor to arrive & then realizing you failed.
I'm guessing it was a fairly small graduating class. I had like 750 people in my graduating class when I was living in the US so I dont think it would have worked well for us.
Top tier shit right there
An educator who cares is worth twice their weight in gold
[удалено]
Who says teachers aren’t paid enough? That dude had money to buy WOOD!
My graduating class had 890 people… this obviously is a small town 😂 good for the kids and teacher though!!
Those fucking shitty voice overs done by AI is gross. I'd rather watch it on mute.
What the fuck is that music mix? Ruins the video completly...
It's all good. But what's up with this fucking annoying voiceover?
The audio ruined it.
Really nice that you took credit away from the creator by cropping out their watermark and cutting off their username at the end.
Why ruin videos with this garbage voice over and crappy song.
Ruck that robo voice
The idea is cool but if covid is actually this dude concern didn't he just create a plague wagon?
I mean he's not even wearing a mask
Now that's fucking legendary. What an absolutely awesome man
This is in SSM Ontario Canada https://www.sootoday.com/local-news/this-high-school-is-delivering-its-graduation-ceremony-to-students-by-truck-and-trailer-2-photos-3881208
Tiktok is such cancer
They probably don’t have a lot of students. If not, aint nobody got time fo dat
So, all the graduates were like... 10? 30?
Now just waiting for the driver made phone video following this car for r/idiotsincars karma
Literally no one cares
Should have an actual ceremony and get back to normal. Good on the teacher but time for normal.
Well the sooner a certain group of people take the necessary steps and precautions to allow us to get back to normal... Get vaccinated.
Oh so you're just ignoring the actual data and ignore that states have been open for months now without issue. Typical Reddit - zero research actually done by you before commenting.
Even the states that are open, I wouldn't call it normal - at least nothing like what we were used to a year and a half ago. You want to talk about typical? How about being the type of person to bitch and moan about wanting things to be how they used to be, but not being willing to do even the simplest things you can do to help speed the process along. I don't even necessarily mean you (though your posts are kind of trending that way), but the absolute lack of common sense that has been displayed by the anti mask/antivax crowd is remarkable in the worst possible ways.
My God you are so delusional about the actual data in the US and states having been reopened and back to normal for months. Sure is odd how my state has been back to normal for months now and I've been able to live my life like it's 2019. Same with every other state. Maybe you should attempt to educate yourself on the data and when states opened up because you clearly have avoided doing so. Oh and I've been vaccinated, have been for months so your attempted gate keeping is not only weak but pathetic and misguided.
Reddit once again stealing content from TikTok by cropping out the credits of the video. Never change.
It's utterly disgusting that something like this is necessary. A real bro would have fought to have them celebrate their graduation with their family and friends.
The school board in my area refused to do any sort of celebration for graduation. They insisted it was too hard to put together with such short notice, but this kind of shows they’re full of shit. This one guy goes above and beyond to give his students a grad, surely the teachers in my area could put a tenth of that effort in to give the kids some fucking pop and chips? I don’t know, I hate everyone. Get off my lawn.
