Subject: One of the things they don't tell you about going in to Senior Year is all the freakin' FEES! Thru the roof prices for senior portraits, all kinds of academic-based fees, fees to take tests, fees to graduate, fees to apply to colleges, etc. It's worse than buying a house! If there's one thing I'd say to Parents with kids just starting high school, be prepared to spend about $1000 on Senior Year. Sheesh!

[> A bit late, but one thing I learned from some older friends a few years ago is to start looking at colleges after their sophomore year and definitely after their junior year. We have taken summer "look" vacations. That seems to help a bit. Senior picture prices are nuts. I went crazy with the first kid. The second said one morning, "Hey Mom, I need a picture for the yearbook and it's due TODAY." He went to Kiddie Kandids at the mall and loved the pictures. Now I have the third child who is a senior. My friend took the yearbook pictures and they turned out so well, she's doing the rest. -- TH, 22:02:25 11/04/11 Fri [1]
