I attended my step-daughter's college commencement ceremony on Sunday. She received a master's degree. I was absolutely appalled at the number of graduates who immediately left after receiving their diplomas and didn't even bother to stay until the end of the ceremony. It wasn't just the graduates, but also entire rows of the audience, were also shuffling out during the ceremony. The entire ceremony only lasted about 90 minutes! Is this the new etiquette?
