[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoever announced students' names before they came onto the stage did horrific jobs calling names despite students phonetically writing their names to be used by the announcer. Rushed too. If you can't even read off a piece of paper, don't do the job of calling out names. Not everyone's name is an easy John Doe. Embarrassing to hear in this particular county. [/quote]

Which school?[/quote]

Does.Not.Matter.What school.
It could apply to any setting actually. If you don't know how to say someone's name, ask them how you pronounce it. Maybe it's hard to get it right which is understood. But when students have written it out for them, and they are still so off?  [/quote]

At our ceremony, the announcers were several teachers from the world languages department, and they did a great job.[/quote]

That’s cool. I might know the school PP referenced. Students announced names. I think it was a high pressure situation for them.[/quote]

Why have students announce names? Isn't it their own graduation? Can't they just sit back and relax on their day? Outsource that job if Admin and teachers are tied up with other graduation logistics which no doubt graduation is a lot to manage.

Some kids actually like it and [b]find it an honor[/b]. Sit back and relax is a weird comment if you actually know graduating teens.[/quote]

Then honor each name. Practice. Don't rush.[/quote]
