I stopped paying attention when my grandkids' pre-school had a "graduation." It's all silly IMO. dameatball Oct 2019 #4

Really? I grew up and went to school all in the same town. My high school reunion covers that as well as it needs to be. I can't imagine organizing a grade school reunion. I'd say that would be cool if we could get all the teachers and cooks to come, but most are no longer with us.

Apparently, this seems to be a trend in Catholic schools in our area (southeastern PA).
Maybe because they don’t stay in the same school district all twelve years?

...other than high school or college is preposterous and presumptuous. I have to bite my tongue anytime someone speaks of “graduating from pre-school.”

Dictionary.com - graduate -verb - to receive a degree or diploma on completing a course of study.

The mini caps and gowns are especially ridiculous.
