Well, this is just…WEIRD.

A mom named Angelica posted a video on TikTok and showed viewers the unusual rule that attendees had to follow at her child’s elementary school graduation.

The video shows an elementary school graduation ceremony in an auditorium.

But this was no ordinary ceremony…

When each child’s name was called, the crowd all clapped together ONCE to recognize the graduating student.

The text overlay on the video reads, “We are only allowed to clap one time per child.”

Hmmm…
