"All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" Book by Robert Fulghum First published in 1986. Of course back then yea they were still teaching kids good things. Now not so much but if one can find a first or even a second edition it's worth the read.

Hey, this could be the pinnacle of academic achievement for a lot of these kids. Don’t want to miss seeing it.

Since when did kindergarten graduation become a thing? I’m 65 and didn’t have a graduation. The only graduation we had was 8th and 12th grade.

The evil and unnecessary trap they’ve been teaching kids for the last couple of decades has ruined “education”. They need to get back to the old way of teaching basics. My son commented today that he went to a playground and started teaching the kids there the garbage taught in schools today, he’d be arrested as a pervert.

Reads more like a Chuck E Cheese type incident...

Sad. At a kindergarten event.

Kindergarten graduation ceremony?

Oh, no, these kids won’t eventually become the most entitled, pampered, coddled, and self-centered generation of all time. Oh, no. No way.

Their kids will be…

Besides all of this, when did “Kindergarten graduation” become a thing? Sounds ridiculous.

Graduation signals an achievement. What have small children achieved? They nap half the time they’re in “class.”

When I was kindergarten age, the rural school district where I lived offered a half day for like the last three months of the school year.

It was entirely optional and my parents bless them thought it should be my option.

I said no, because even though I was looking forward to going to school, I didn’t think kindergarten was “real” school.

Don’t regret it.

I got a fine education in the public schools I attended and for that I am forever thankful.

You can tell it’s a formal ceremony from the pink pajamas and fuzzy slippers one brawler was wearing.

The kids may remember this graduation more than the 8th grade graduation.

Kindergarten graduation is stupid. You are celebrating them staying alive for a year. It’s a pretty low bar. And the graduate usually has nothing to do with their success.

It’s almost as stupid are grammar school graduation.

“””Jessica Anderson, 28, was charged with felonious assault in connection to the kindergarten graduation ceremony brawl””””

Check out her photo. She was the one arrested.

What were the Teachers doing when the “wrongful seating” was happening, shopping on Amazon with their cell phones?
Someone should have been managing (or babysitting) the gathering crowd.

When did this graduating from kindergarten begin? I don’t remember learning a lot in kindergarten. We had some crackers and took naps. I do remember making a paper rabbit ears for Easter.
