It's OP ^ response wasn't me. I respect both opinions. I also feel it's a little cringey, but understand that many kids aren't in the spotlight and equally deserving. Maybe more so for overcoming obstacles. [b]I'm going to donate a free spot to counseling dept for another parent that can't afford it to celebrate their child.[/b] Cost is ridiculous. [/quote]

Oh, that's so nice!

I think it's easy for a lot of us to think "Your accomplishments speak for themselves, kid, and I'm paying for college so I'm not throwing money at the yearbook committee." And for our kids, that may be true. But at a senior thing where I was checking kids in, one girl said there was no emergency contact because she had been renting a room for her senior year, and the woman she rented from wouldn't be able to come in an emergency. Commencement was earlier that day, and even though I'd thought the parents with the balloons and flowers were a little over the top, I suddenly wished she'd had that, because she'd clearly had to work a lot harder to get her diploma than most of the kids in her class. She deserved a serving of what I think of as normal. [/quote]
