Heck, they can just notify everyone by social media that they have graduated. Do a podcast if school feels the need to have a talking head give a stoopid speech.

That might be cool. My youngest will be graduating next May. When he started college, I went with him on his "going away to college" move into the dorms thing. But then he transferred to the big state school, that is the rival of my alma mater. When he told me he was tranferring I told him good luck! I have never been to current university (well not counting the B-52s concert in the 80s). So I will have managed to avoid his campus until graduation. And I will go. And I will be proud of him. But I reserve the right to give him a hard time about where he is going to school.

Reminds me of EX and I telling our son that he could attend any college he wanted too but if he wanted us to pay for it he had to go to - insert school name here -

My 2 cents...it's rude...but sometimes it's better to be rude and happy than polite and unhappy. I don't think the way many graduation ceremonies are set up are very conducive to letting people be both polite and happy.
