    I even think HS graduation is way over the top. It's high school. I don't understand how passing grade 12 became a big deal. Any idiot can do it if they want to.

    well, previously there was no 'graduation' in other grades, so when one finishes 12+ years of school, they make a big deal. Now if a kid just finishes 3 years, he gets a trophy. BFD.

    I finished 5 years of hell at a certain cell phone company and got a Waterford crystal bowl...woo. Mr. RK finished 5 years of designing boats and got a basketball... :lol:

    Yeah, well kids get prizes for actually losing now, so.... :roll:

    A basketball? That's bizarre. :lol:

    ...and that's why you should only get to 'graduate' from HS or college... :fp:

    I hope I don't make headlines next week. My son's HS graduation is next Friday evening, on the football field outside, unless it rains, then it will be in the gym and each kid gets only 6 tickets if it's inside. We have a possible 9, at least - let the games begin.

    How big is the graduating class? I remember my class was like 400+ kids, took FOREVER...started at 6pm and ended around 9:30ish.

    We call our 8th grade ceremony a "Farewell" and constantly remind the kids that there is no such thing as graduation until completing all of your HS credits

    it's not big, I would guess about 150, so won't be too bad.

    well, they were supposed to have pool day last Friday, but it got rained out. And there is a dinner/dance that they will be having after the ceremony but my son said no way, I am having a hard enough time just getting him to agree to go to the graduation.

    Celebrated my cousin's graduation from college yesterday in Jersey and there was plenty of great food and beer. This year is going to be a calm year for grad parties compared to last year, when it seemed like there was one I went to every week.

    getting closer to my son's HS graduation on Friday, weather forecast is getting worse, calling for 70% of thunderstorms.
