As I said you don't have to do it but why complain when others do?

If a kids makes straight A's and gets distinguished then by all means don't, but what about the kids that don't?

Who wants a barley 17 year old graduating high school?

Not complaining by any means .... that is each parents choice and I don't fault them for doing what they think is best for their child........

and OH... BTW... I have a STRAIGHT - A (because I stay on top of his education) student who plays 3 sports (excels in 2 of them), participates in school educational activities, scores rather well on the CATS at the end of the year and he will BARELY BE 17 WHEN HE GRADUATES!!!!
