Maybe I’m old school, maybe I’m just grouchy, or maybe the last 3 weeks of school have just broken my spirit. That being said… I only consider something worthy of a “graduation” ceremony if the student is earning a degree.
I’m just generally annoyed by my kids’ schools insisting on all these end of year events and theme days, and then a “graduation” ceremony for Kindergartners. They are 5/6 years old. They aren’t “graduating” and in my area they aren’t even switching schools. Just moving down the hall to first grade.
I’m all for celebrating my kids’ achievements, but I’d much rather take my kindergartner to a Saturday at the Zoo to celebrate the end of school than take a day off work to sit in an auditorium for a Kindergarten graduation ceremony watching my child from 20 yards away.
This is 100% a vent. I’m not going to lobby my school leadership for change. I just needed to complain to someone!
