It’s sad how little it means to them. But then again, I made my mom get a ton of wallet photos of my school pic so I would write nice messages and hand them out. That was always a fun week at school. Still have every photo given to me.

Yes, but mine is a senior.

We bought all the ES and MS yearbooks, but they are so expensive in HS, so we are only buying the Jr ans Sr ones (though my Sr forwent last year's b/c there wasn't much in it due to COVID). Thought about getting one for my Soph b/c she popped up in a few places, but even if they printed more, she wouldn't have the opportunity to get it signed, and that's most of the fun.

Pretty sure mine had friends sign in ES and MS.

Almost to a kid, the handwriting is that of a little kid, huge and shaky. You wonder when these kids last held a pen.

A few of the teachers signed and wrote normal yearbook type messages.


I just posted this and it's not even just the handwriting, I just have doubts about whether any of them *could* compose a simple message.

My kid mumbled a halfhearted yes when I asked if he wanted a middle school yearbook a few years ago. After not opening it for the first month he ended up looking at it quite a bit for the rest of middle school. So in the end it was a worthwhile purchase.

But nobody signed it. I don't think he knew that was a thing.

Kids don't care about anything but the phone they stare into all day. Mine hasn't even looked thru her yearbook. I paid $35 for a thin piece of crap. Lesson learned.

My senior’s class distributed the yearbooks only a day before graduation so there was hardly any time to get signatures.

My kid is just in elementary, but I was shocked no one signed hers. They handed them out at the very end of the day and they said they were to take home. My kid didn't really remember signing them before because they missed the last two times because of covid.

My middle schooler said hardly any kids got a yearbook and no one is signing them. He has a ton of friends. Is this just not cool anymore?!?!
