A high school graduation, of course, is a big deal and needs to be celebrated.But, like the issue of the prom dress, how far is too far? …
… Miss Manners has an odd solution. Skip all of the other parties and then throw one of your own for the entire senior class.

- QUOTE: As we have children of this age, we are well aware of the practice that has taken over in recent years of nearly every family hosting a graduation party for their child during the early weeks of summer.
The result: dozens of parties per day, at times, for the graduating class of this one school (families at all schools in our area have the same practice), with party-time slots filled many times over.
I have heard many of the students and their parents speak about the amount of money “raised” at these parties, and it seems to be the main driver in having a party, which I find extremely distasteful. It has become an exchange of a hotdog for a check.
