    I think I survived very well without Preschool, Kindergarten, 5th grade, and 8th grade graduation ceremonies. High school was what mattered.

    It’s all in the perspective. My son just “graduated” from 5th grade and we couldn’t be prouder. He worked very hard during his elementary school years and deserved a little credit for his hard work. Luckily our school district doesn’t require cap and gown and all the other incidentals. Now onward to middle school.

    I agree with the comic. It’s ridiculous what some places do these days when kids move on to a new school (no, it’s not really a graduation.) If you’re so proud of what your child did, then celebrate on your own, but to expect the school to make a big deal of it is ridiculous and cheapens the meaning of a degree (whether high school or college)

    I distinctly remember I DID have a preschool ‘graduation’. It consisted of us, in unison, doing “I’m a Little Teapot”, receiving a certificate (which mattered not to any of us) and COOKIES and PUNCH! And this was in the Dark Ages of the ’60s!

    We didn’t even have preschool. I had to learn how to color and cut stuff out at home. Yeah, you might say I was “home schooled” for preschool and kindergarten.
