I think he gave a pretty commendable honest answer there.

I've long believed that the ceremonies were about 90 percent for parents etc & et al, maybe 10 percent for the students.

I could all but guarantee you my son wouldn't have bothered with his HS one if not for his mother & maybe grandparents, I'd say only about a 20% chance he would have bothered with the (now non-existent) college one next month if not for his mother.
