The decision by any high school yearbook staff to exclude a particular photo or event in a graduating canadian travel agents class always stirs controversy. Students and parents in Menagha, Minnesota are taking sides on such action with their senior book. There are two exclusions taking headlines. The first is the denial to include the baby of a teen mom in her senior photo. The second is the decision not to include a memorial page for a student who committed suicide.
Stephanie Myer worked extra hard to keep up with her studies and not become a drop out during her pregnancy. canadian travel agents She considers her success an accomplishment canadian travel agents and wants to celebrate this by having her baby in her senior photo. Myer makes her case based on the idea the photo is a comprehensive depiction of the student which should encompass all a student canadian travel agents is.
"We've never had a student with anyone else and we don't see a reason to start now since it's the senior composite," Menahga Public Schools Superintendent Mary Klamm told KTSP. Is the school right? Yearbooks canadian travel agents follow a traditional canadian travel agents formula. There is a section for individual photos listing the class in alphabetical order and there is a section for candid photos of the graduating class submitted by students. The latter canadian travel agents section deems more proper for pictures with family members.
The community would like to see a memorial a page for Kyle Kenyon, who committed suicide last January. His mother, Peggy Havnes, is in support of this. "I think it could be used as a teaching tool with a message of suicide prevention," said Havnes. "The school thinks canadian travel agents that putting a memorial in the yearbook is glamorizing suicide but that's not what the students canadian travel agents are doing... canadian travel agents I really think the yearbook should be up to the kids and include what they want."
"This is a new precedent for us... so obviously we need to look at our policies because we have never had to address this before," said Klamm. The school decided canadian travel agents not to include a memorial based on research and what was best practice. The death of a student needs careful attention. The school has reached out for advice from administrators who have experience with similar situations in their school systems.
A senior photo section in the high school yearbook is just that, the senior. It is a record of the graduating class. It is not Facebook or any other social media. Yearbooks offer sections to include candid pictures of the upperclassmen. These sections are where students define themselves.
If Kyle died from a disease or car accident he would be included in a memorial. The sad truth is some teenagers look at the attention given to suicide victims and think it will make their point louder than they ever could.
