[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 429221, member: 4264"] Sounds like a great solution. difficult child may be disappointed you miss seeing him pass to high school but as others mentioned, high school grad is a milestone that kids strive to their entire young lives. Not to mention the parents moment of seeing them age out of traditional school. I would hate either you or husband missing that. I think if family difficult child is close to can attend, priority should be the high school grad. I do think its ridiculous that schools can't coordinate their grad ceremonies, at least in towns where it is a possibility due to not a massive number of schools. I hope both kids enjoy their special days. Here grade 8 grade most kids tease about, but it is a "done" thing. I forced Matt to his, he hated it. He allowed us to arrive just upon start time, and begged to leave right after the ceremony, not even saying goodbye to friends, let alone teachers lol. He was such a difficult child at that time, I look back at it and smile. For easy child, I can see her enjoying a "rite of passage" ceremony to move forward into high school. Funny how different areas handle different things. Here we get graduation dances, but not a prom in the sense it is done up in the US. I often feel badly that kids here don't have that big deal to look forward to. [/QUOTE]
