The kids dress in their cap and gowns and go to their elementary schools and parade through the halls. Which is huge. The kids get to see their future and the teachers get to see their hard work pay off.
Do not minimize what a high school graduation is. It is important. Very important. And do not tell me it wasnt important to you. Because I was a fuck off in HS and I still remember walking across that stage and getting my diploma. And it was important.

My son is 4th in his class! Yeah, this just sucks so bad. It doesn't seem to be that hard on him, though. I asked him if it really bothered him when they announced the schools where not going back this year and it probably meant no graduation. He said he thinks it probably bothers him less than it should. It is hurting me more, and it is absolutely killing my wife.
