High School Graduation

Dwight Said:

What kind of outfit do i wear to a high school graduation?

We Answered:

the sundress will probably be fine. I went to my high schools graduation(i wasn't graduating) and almost everyone was wearing sun dresses. You could always put a light sweater over it, h&m has lots of cheap ones.

Yolanda Said:

How do you feel about the mandatory high school graduation test?

We Answered:

I live in Texas where a similar test is enforced. I passed this test on the first try. Personally, I have mixed feelings about it. When the time came to take the test all of the teachers and faculty decorated the hallways with signs with sayings like "Sail through TAKS". This disgusted me. Teachers began teaching test taking tips rather than teaching the material. I remember my history teacher actually taking thirty minutes to teach us a trick to remember war dates specifically for this test. What I'm getting at is that they tend to teach for the test rather than just teaching. I feel that this actually harms students more than it helps. When I graduated, I soon realized that I could take a test, but that's about it. College was so different that I had to recreate my study methods just because I was taught rhymes for memorizing instead of material. It is virtually impossible to measure what a student knows just by one test, even if they can take it 7 times. The test may pose some benefits, but I think there should be various methods to test students. A person cannot sum up thirteen years of schooling in just one test.

What should I get my girlfriend for high school graduation?

We Answered:

if your in the same school and you guys got together at school
maybe you can get a bunch of your pictures together and make her a collage or a mini scrap book.
if you want to buy her something maybe you can get her a bracelet or a necklace maybe even some sort of ring (im not saying an engagement ring) and maybe take her out to dinner. you can also go with flowers, dinner and maybe take her to shopping or buy her something i said above or a purse.
lots of girls love juicy couture bags.

Josephine Said:

Christopher Said:

What car should I get after my graduation from high school?

We Answered:

Yeah its nice to show your patriotism for USA and buying cars that are American....but dude...lets be reasonable...Buying a Ford Taurus is like sticking the Taurus' horn up you A$$ because its not a reliable care. If you are looking for a car...the best advise I would give to you is to invest just $29/year into ConsumerReports.org . log on for your self and see the cars reliability ratings...If I were you, I would get the new 2007 Toyota Camry - Either the Sports Edition/ Hybrid - Camry - best selling car in the US, Fuel Efficient and Very reliable - you will not be spending money on repairs...and also Japanese Cars hold a better resale value than a American Car...

Nellie Said:

How to throw a high school graduation party. That others will remember?

We Answered:

This is only high school graduation. There are tons of other experiences that mean more than high school does.

Ashley Said:

Before going into Navy after high school graduation, what are possible ways of getting higher rank?

We Answered:

All of these could allow you to graduate bootcamp at a higher paygrade:

Completing all the requirements of the Delayed Entry Program (DEP)
Getting additional people to enlist
College credits
The particular rating you decide to enlist for.

Some jobs in the Navy will automatically promote you after boot camp, while others will do it after certain schools that you may go to. If you do go to any additional schools, as an earlier poster wrote, the class honor person usually gets advanced at graduation or first choice of available orders.

Good Luck
