Around 140. I think there was some white trash girl who dropped out knocked up the previous year. It's never occurred to me before, but a graduation ceremony for a class of 1000 must be a goddamn nightmare.

600-700 or so forgot the exact number. only 2 people that I knew of got pregnant, only 1 of those kept the baby.

Although at the actual graduation itself I remember thinking "huh I fully do not know at least a fourth of these people" because they were just never in my classes or participated in school events or whatever so the preggo number might be skewed.

I forgot exactly what the format was but they managed to knock it out in less than a couple hours, and half of that was speeches and whatever like it normally is.

iirc the seating was all arranged with the order of diplomas such that you just went up and shook a couple people's hands and got your diploma and walked off the other side of the platform and it just continuously did that until everyone got their diploma.

Mine took like 3 hours but only like an hour was taken by 1200 of us filing onto and off a stage. Everyone was lined up and when they called your name you were already at the foot of the stage. 10 seconds to walk, shake, walk. No biggie. Had to use a pretty big college stadium tho.

a 'Government' class credit was required for graduation at my school. Some people left it until the literal last semester.

A nonzero number of people already in their robes and ready to graduate had to be pulled out of the ceremony right before it started because they didn't pass their final exam and thus had to re-take the class in the summer to get the required credit to graduate

lmao

I guess I'm just bad at approximating stupidity levels, being a reasonably intelligent person who merely (if utterly) failed to apply himself.

P. sure I slept through 98% of that class and still came away with an A. That same amount of effort would have been rewarded with a C or D in a moderately taxing class (yo algebra 2!).

46 in the senior class, I graduated 44th and the two guys behind me flunked out. One of them shot off two of his toes in a hunting "accident" to avoid the draft (like 2 weeks before US got out of the 'nam)

Nobody knocked up that I knew of, but the principal's daughter got married and had a kid and another on the way within a year after.

A little over 500 in the class. I have no idea how many got pregnant, because once you got pregnant and the school knew, they forced you to transfer to a different school. Our school was one of those "Blue Ribbon School of Excellence" winners, and they felt that pregnant students tarnished the image of the school.

We did this too, the bad kids got sent to 'the academy' which was just another high school 3 blocks away for keeping those kids in. Dunno if being pregnant would be enough to qualify but if you had really lovely grades or got in enough trouble or got caught with drugs that's where you went.

Around 1200, I think. No one was pregnant because they shipped pregnant girls off to the "alternative school" as soon as the pregnancy was made aware to the staff/the girls started showing so as not to damage the school's reputation.

Some kid got through the entirety of Return of the King on a portable DVD player he smuggled under his robes during our graduation ceremony. :v:

What's even worse is that there was one older, male teacher who was inappropriately touchy with EVERY girl who came through his classes (including myself). Girls talked about it all the time, and I would even hear them making comments about how the only girls he never touched were the ones in Special Ed. I would hear them talking and think "WTF, this school has more than 2,000 students, every single one of them knows this guy does this, and nobody says anything?" So I reported it.

I first went to my guidance counselor, and the first thing out of her mouth was "It's Audlin, isn't it?" I asked her how she knew, and she said there had been a trial over it a few years back. Yet the guy was still employed. So I continued with my report and had to talk to the police and social services. The only thing that happened is that they told him that I reported him, so he stopped touching me and only me.

Ten years later, my cousin attended the school and he was still there. And still touching. drat all those horrible teenage tramps sullying our beautiful school, but an adult child molester? Totally fine.

Oh hey my school had a 'let me give all the girls in class a back rub' guy too. He got fired for that about a year after I graduated though. It was super loving weird.

Like we'd all just be reading silently and he'd walk around giving the hot freshman girls (since I was also a freshman at the time I am allowed to say that I think?) back rubs randomly

Also the photography teacher got fired for being too forward with the Senior girls in his class. I didn't know him or take any of his classes though.

Sounds like he had the right idea. I should look into getting my teaching license so I can get those hot High School girls to be my waifu.

It is kinda scary if you think about it though :(

I mean he still got away with it for like 5 years at the very least (not counting the time he was there before I got there, which def was a few years too) and who knows what else he was doing while not in the middle of class.

Were you a pregnant girl, or were you heavy into drugs and bad at hiding it, or were one of the staggering six kids who were involved in a fight any given year? (Seriously, no one started fights at my school ever; they were too terrified to). Those were the things got you sent to THE BAD SCHOOL.

Suburban moms are the worst, especially when they are wealthy af and barred out to the point of being almost feral.

This guy went beyond that. He would put his hand on your butt, or your upper thigh while talking to you, if he could find a way to finagle it.

I'm sure he probably found ways to touch boobs too, but I can't say for sure since he never touched mine.

Twenty-nine in my graduating class, no moms or dads or pregos.

Almost forgot, my son's best friend moved to some poo poo hole in Kansas (I know it's redundant) and graduated in a class of four.
