aint u meant to get a year book when you finish school?

my school didnt do them, im sure your meant to get one?:eek:
 
Ugh - not unless you're in America. At least I hope this horrible institution is confined to over there.
 
Nope, they're usually done by a group of geeky people keen on getting one made for the year.

No yearbook committee, no yearbook. The teachers/staff don't have time with such nonsense.

Otherwise they're an American tradition really and don't really have a place in British schools! That said, I was one of the above geeky people and spent hours making photo-collages for ours...
 
Loads of people did one at my school, the school paid for it as well, it was mainly the 'cool' people who chose what was in it and no one else got a say in the matter.
 
All I got was O level certs. I hate all this Americanised rubbish, having a "Prom" etc. You left school, thank god for that and get on with it. I was very glad to never see those people again.

Same though we were allowed to vote, but tbh i doubt that effected anything.

100% agree. It's only a matter of time before we have high school "graduation" ceremonies in the UK, with shiny gowns and mortar boards which everyone will ritually throw up in the air :(

All I got when I finished school was a lecture from the head master about how now the hard work really starts. This is how it should be.
 
A colleague of mine's son recently "graduated" from nursery. He's 4! Mortar-board and everything!

I understand it's kindof cute and silly, but it seems to be rather for the parents than the kids - as it only serves to undermine any proper graduation they'll have in the future as a Bachelor or a Master of a subject having done a degree.

The yearbook was a daft thing really - we did it and paid for it all ourselves - and I'm pleased to say the committee was a real mix of absolute dorks like me and some of the 'cooler' folk! It was good to have something for everyone to scribble their well-wishes into :)
 
Back in secondary school, our tradition was to have a mass burning of blazers and ties as a symbol of freedom.

Then we had the teachers equiped with fire extinguishers... now I'm getting nostalgic.
 
I had 2 yearbooks one upon finishing GCSE's and one upon finishing A-Levels at the same place. It is certainly down to the students to do it. It's good for remembering old things and stuff.
