How can you NOT graduate high school, unless you drop out?
Didn't some places put in exit exams? You could fail those? Or just fail a lot of classes?

I'm sure it can vary, some, like with some private schools that are pretty good.  

Anyway, they view is as a cause of celebration, meriting a somewhat expensive 4 hour flight and $1200 of three hotel rooms paid by me.  The daughter (aunt) is coming from France for it, she of the long unemployed variety, so my wife footed the ticket.

I know when I married there would be such things, and I have navigated them pretty much by staying relaxed about it all.

I graduated HS and started college less than a week later, it was just a transition.

Graduating high school is not nothing, it's something -- although the bare minimum expectation by any functional family.

I can tell you what it is not.  And it's this:  :)

This is a complete tangent, but I went to a pretty decent private school, and it was actually paradoxically much harder to fail there than to fail at the local public school.

When mom and dad are shelling out money, you get a lot more leeway. The public school was really sink or swim.

I felt the opposite and saw it at my public school. They just process you through. Kids are just tax dollars and the more you have and the more you keep around, the more tax money that comes in.

This is not a happy thought so I'm done.

I have a long and frustrating story that very much does not belong in this thread, but the gist is that my daughter is graduating as a home school student despite transferring from dual enrollment to full-time at the HS two years ago and she will not be participating in commencement. She would be Valedictorian.

Well, congrats to her anyway.  If she were eligible to be Valedictorian under different circumstances, that speaks well of her (and probably you).

Sheesh....bummer for sure.  I hate that.

We're filing a civil rights complaint with the BoE on Monday. (The school twice accepted unaccredited home school transcripts from male students, then denied hers on the basis it was unaccredited).

For her, she is going to Iowa Central for one year to join their dance team and get an AA, then transfer to Iowa to get a BA.

Snagged some extra lunch at the office today. Gonna save it and see if I can limit some degree of spending on food for the week.

(Saving and figuring this out brings me joy)
