I want to get a message to the President that he should address the current high school seniors across America. They had their senior year ruined by this virus. My daughter, for example, had her senior prom cancelled 3 hours before it was supposed to start. We were literally putting the final touches on her makeup when the school's robocall came in that all high school functions were to be cancelled immediately. This included prom, all awards ceremonies, the senior play, the senior trip to Disney World that we had being paying for all year, and now graduation. School just unceremoniously ended. They don't even get to say goodbye to the friends they've been with for years. No one is really talking about them. They feel forgotten and unimportant. And, really, so do the parents. I feel that we were robbed of this milestone, too. This is such an important transition for the whole family.

I was thinking that maybe if the President addressed the high school seniors directly that it could ease some of the sting.

Thanks, pedes!

High school is a joke, why give it more importance that it deserves? It's meant to propagandize leftist values, that's why all the school administrators are corrupt democrats.

I'm serious. It's an awkward age, you don't learn much useful, and life only gets better. Why worship it? I understand you're incapable of disagreement and the downvote button makes you feel powerful, but home-schooling is better and doesn't involve "muh football" worship that elevates the slow kids to the top.

I'll agree that homeschool is miles better than most of what's offered, but there's no harm in celebrating the transition milestone. Life is supposed to be getting real for them, that's why we allow the hoopla. I homeschool mine and the groups I'm part of are in the same boat, the equivalent events have all been defered. It's a bitter pill.

I just don't think we need to actually make it much of a milestone. Kids go on to think they accomplished something when it's four years of complete bullshit, then they go to college thinking they have a clue.

I forgot most of all four years but I don't remember them fondly. It was idiot worship through-and-through coupled with leftist propaganda.

And I’m serious too.

I was in polite agreement with your opinion until that. I get that you had a miserable time in high school. That’s just statistics. Some people appreciated the schooling and activities, some didn’t. That’s a bummer but, just like on Reddit, there are people who actually have a different opinion then you. Weird, I know.

Also, that downvote button is used, in this instance, for people being jerks.

They downvoted me after they posted that.

High school was bullshit. And you're lying about having agreed with me. I call someone out for using the downvote button and then you pretend I was the aggressor. Fuck off with your lying.
