[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At no time in my life did I think that high school graduation was significant. I have an IB diploma, 2 bachelors degrees, a masters and PhD. [/quote]

It’s not specifically about graduation or prom, it’s about the entire social scene. About being young, and goofy and have a blast hanging out with your friends at the drop of a hat. For example. I’ve had lots of great vacations in my life, but none hold a candle to the insane spring break I had in college. I hate the idea of my daughter missing out on some of these experiences. [/quote]

[b]I’m guessing by “goofy” and “having a blast” you mean drinking. [/b]Stop speaking for the rest of us. Some of us survived hs and college without being “goofy”[/quote]

No by goofy and having fun, I mean the light hearted silliness that is pretty inherent with kids this age when they hang out. Now the insane spring break I had in college on the other hand...[/quote]

Right. It's a cumulative experience of getting to be the big dogs in school for the first time as  you get ready to go off to college. It's a shame there are so many miserable people on this board. Senior year is a celebratory and transitional year. [/quote]

Did you go to a k-12 school?

Otherwise, kids have multiple opportunities to be the oldest grade. Around here 5th graders get to be the big dogs. That’s really the last year they should care about that anyway. [/quote]
