Alternative To Buying A High School Graduation Class Ring

In another article I wrote that many high school students will want high school graduation class rings and that parents can get it more affordable by buying a high school graduation class ring from the jewelry store instead of buying them from the school. The truth is, I think buying high school graduation class rings is a ridiculous high school tradition, a waste of money and there are much better alternatives.

There is nothing wrong with deciding to treat your child with something special their senior year after three years of hard work, or in most child’s case, even three years of mediocre work. But buying a high school graduation class ring is just stupid.

This is how a high school graduation class ring works. The high school student orders the class ring during their senior season. The class ring comes sometime during the year. The high school student wears the class ring the rest of the year. The last day of school comes. The high school student goes home, puts their high school graduation class ring in the drawer and they never wear it again.

Of course they don’t wear it ever again. When the high school student goes to college the following year, nobody gives a flying flip if you graduated from Nowhere High School in the year 2009. That’s like being called up to the Major Leagues and showing off your Minor League batting title.

Why buy anybody a piece of jewelry they are going to wear for a month or two? What a parent should do is sit down their child and explain to them that buying a high school graduation class ring is a slay of money. Tell your child that you’re willing to spend the $300 (or whatever the cost is) on them, just not for something that isn’t practical.

Instead of buying them a high school graduation class ring tell your child that they can have something that’s equal in cost, as long as it is something more practical than a ring they will wear for a few months and then basically throw away. It can be one tall item or several small items. Instead of buying a high school graduation class ring they can buy clothes, video games, a part for a computer, books or something else. The child could even keep the $300 and put it in savings. All of those things are better than paying that distinguished money for high school graduation class ring that will be sitting in a drawer for years.
