Ah come on…it’s cute. Gives them a sense of accomplishment, too.

What did they accomplish?

Certainty true. I'll rescind my remarks, apply them to public school system only

There's elementary and middle school graduations.

MarylandFan

Not very common, and in my opinion also dumb. But less dumb than preschool

Your opinion on pre-school graduation fascinates me.

MarylandFan

I love them, why? They are celebrations of the person, not telling the kids

I'm just pointing out that you are wrong about doing nothing. I think you are

It's a cute photo op. Of course, it doesn't have the significance of the others

All graduations are dumb...if you knew what ASD pays to get the Marriott Center

Celebrate everything and all are winners

You're right. We should tell 5 year-olds they suck
