I’m not a huge fan of how the signs look, but I don’t feel the need to cut down others fun if they like them.

The concerns about the environment or kidnapping or whatever are ridiculous and disingenuous.

Someone ODed on haterade this morning.

Yard signs 🪧 do not really bother me very much….unless they are MAGA signs.

If it bothers you > could you contact your HOA if you have one?

The graduation signs really took off during Covid, when kids missed their high school graduations, and elementary and middle school send-offs. My kids both had yard signs to celebrate their high school and elementary school graduations during the pandemic. Now people like them!

We need to clean the streets up. Time to declutter signs and other crap all over the place.

You clearly have no idea how kidnapping and praying on children actually works.

I only see the high school ones. Not a fan but if my kid wants it, I'll do it. Not that big a deal.

I have no yard signs, but with all the sh*tty things in the world right now, they don’t come close to ranking.

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery
Breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign?

Signs are what Karens do when they aren't around to Karen and complain and boss others.

Yes agree. In my school district, during Covid they started making the huge weatherproof athletic style banners for all 300-ish seniors (based off of yearbooks) and posting them on the athletic field fencing. Because there wasn't a commencement ceremony. The school tried to cancel this last year but some kids had a fit. So now we have a giant fairly indestructible poster of our kid's senior picture.

I like the 5th grade ones. Our elementary school is split and scatters for middle school so it does feel like a conclusion for a group of kids who have largely been together for 6 years. It's fun to walk around the neighborhood and see the signs.

One of my kids wishes we would do it, but we are private people and don't believe in doing that.

Painted rocks, broken down rotting little free libraries all of it needs to go!

It’s a PTO fundraiser and the kids like it. It’s not a brag - it’s just saying my kid is finishing public middle school.

This falls under the category of - “this does not affect you so why do you care?”
