Do kids not sign each other's yearbooks anymore?

Things change. It's our kids' school experience, not ours.

Back in our day, once you left school there was a good chance you may never see those people again. Now that they have social media, they're pretty much always intouch for the rest of their lives. I don't see the yearbook signings as having as much meaning to them

My 8th grade girl came home today and her yearbook was filled with notes and signatures.

Their experience is staring at screens. No one know how to write or talk face to face anyway

And you walked to school every day, uphill both ways, in the snow.

Elementary and middle school yearbooks?? I only bought one senior year of high school.

Plus, I don’t even know where my yearbook is. I’ve moved so many times since high school that it probably got lost somewhere along the way.

Same for my 7th grader!

Yearbooks are kind of pointless in an era of social media

Our 8th grader also came home with lots of signatures and signed a bunch of yearbooks. Same with our 5th grader. Several HAGS were recorded!

I have all my yearbooks.

The kids don’t care. They have phones.

My third grader got a yearbook this year and it has quite a few signatures and a few notes. He is not a "popular" kid I don't think.

I still have all my yearbooks from elementary, but I'm given to nostalgia.

In elementary the teacher probably guides the signing event. In older grades the kids have to initiate for themselves
