I just went to my daughter’s 5th Grade Graduation Ceremony.

Back in my day, we had ONE graduation, and that was High School Graduation.

Yep, me too.

Now, everyone is special all the time.

I think they do all these graduations, one for each year, because the studen turnover rate is so high that kids only get to do one or two years at any one school; then it’s off to another school, jail or the morgue. If it’s the latter, then it gives the Mom and the baby daddy (if she knows who he is) a nice picture to remember the kid by; something for her to look at while sitting on the couch during commercial breaks in the Jerry Springer show and something for him to look at while walking the rec yard in prison. And of course, if the kid winds up going to jail/prison after 5th grade graduation, the certificate helps to show prison officials so they’ll know which GED class to place the kid in.

So......all in all, it serves some pretty good purposes I suppose.
