RayAsianBoy had a hard time processing the news that Rakai graduated high school despite missing around two years of classes. The Taiwanese streamer used the moment to clown the entire American school system live on stream.
Ray reacted with pure disbelief after hearing how Rakai pulled off the diploma. He poked fun at the idea that a student could basically disappear from class for two years and still walk away with a piece of paper saying he finished.

That uncertainty didn’t stop Ray from running with the joke. His rant tapped into a long-running gripe about American high schools, where attendance enforcement, grading policies, and graduation-rate pressure differ from school to school. Some districts have strict absence thresholds while others lean heavily on make-up work, waivers, and credit recovery to keep students on track.
Whether Rakai walked away with a traditional diploma or an equivalency credential, the situation isn’t exactly rare in the US, where graduation rates are often used as a metric to judge schools. Combine that with a teen creator already pulling in serious money online, and skipping class probably didn’t feel like a major risk.
