thescrappyhomeschooler Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Interesting. I guess it's cool for the kids and parents if they feel like they're missing out on something. I've never been into the whole graduation ceremony thing, but I don't like weddings, either. I'm not a ceremony afficianado! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 There was another thread about this article and this is what I wrote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Huh. I have mixed feelings about ceremonies like that. We have our own reasons for homeschooling through high school and we don't belong to any outside group that will have a ceremony. That article says the students didn't know each other before the ceremony. I doubt my DD would want to participate in a ceremony when she knows no one else. I'd much rather have my DD's input on how she's like to cap off the end of her homeschooling years. If I know her (I think I do ) it wouldn't include putting on a gown, marching in a line and listening to people she doesn't know talk about her future.

Mama2Many4 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I don't think my kids will care much to miss out on a formal graduation. I'm sure they'll have much better things in mind to do at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
