Middleschool Yearbook

[vulcanman]

My 11yr olds middleschool is expecting parents to shell out $60 for a yearbook.

Is that the norm ?

I can understand yearbook in the final year ... but in middle-school ?

Any thoughts ?

I think mine were $10-15. $60 is outrageous.

$60 is too much. Tell your child to wait until next September when the book will be available to steal out of the school library.

 

[simms]

60 = way too much.

 

[FoBoT]

the teacher in charge of that is nuts
too much for middle school

 

[Aharami]

wow my middle school yearbook was $20. I paid $60 for my high school year book my senior year

 

[nakedfrog]

My daughter is 11 and I think they want $20 this year.

I remember our High school raconteurs were around 55 dollars each year but they were hard covered and nicely bound just like a regular book, and the quality of the pages were good too, so it was worth it. I don't think I really bothered getting one in middle school except in maybe 8th grade (and they were way less then 60 dollars) since it was the last year before moving on to HS. I mean, it's not like you're gonna see your classmates next year, or the year after that, or the year after that, etc.

/cue people who had a good friend move away in middle school and wished they had bought a year book to remember them by
//Although, if they were a good friend then I hope you wouldn't need a year book to remember them by

i dont even think my college year book cost 60$

Depends how big the middle school is and the size of the year book. I have no idea what mine cost, but I still have all three. They are only about 1/3" thick...I think all three are still less than the size of one high school one.

$60 is nothing for the memories your kid will have looking back and sharing with their own family / kids.

 

[Mr Incognito]

Get one for 8th grade only.

 

[waggy]

wow thats far to much.

though my highschool yearbooks were $50 or so. but they were nice books.

no way would i pay that much for a middleschool book.

 

[nonameo]

uh... wai too much.

My highschool yearbook wasn't even that much.

 

[IronWing]

On the other hand, if one of the kids commits suicide before eighth grade picture day, your child won't have anything to remember the kid by.

 

[puffff]

I think mine was $18. Tack on about 3-4% inflation over the last 12 years, $25-30 sounds about right.

 

[woodie1]

That sounds like too much to me but then some memories are priceless.

 

[hypn0tik]

$60 is a lot IMO.

I paid about $55 CAD (4 years ago) for my HS year book.

 

[StageLeft]

60 HAHAHAHA

 

[SmoochyTX]

$60 is farking crazy for a middle school yearbook.

 

[MyThirdEye]

My middle school yearbook was $15

Don't pay $60; I guarantee that she will lost it within 2 years.

 

[Ika]

My high school yearbook was like $45. I paid less than $20 for all my middle school yearbooks (each).

 

[Juno]

i think my middle school yearbook was $30ish but my high school yearbook was $75!

I don't even know where my high school yearbook is. Put a poll in this thread: how many people still have yearbooks from middle school? How about high school?

 

[vulcanman]

Thanks all, the votes are in.

Shall skip this year ... get it when in 8th grade.
