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.

I attended my granddaughter’s kindergarten graduation this morning in Royse City. It was a well managed affair. No conflicts.

I didn’t even go to Kindergarten.

We didn’t even have an 8th grade graduation. We had an awards thing, near the end, but it was more of a morale builder for high school entry.

I hear you. Just the other day my great niece sent me pictures of her son graduating kindergarten. He had a cap and gown and a certificate. They acted like it was some kind of real achievement.

This is out in the country in Tennessee, too.

Bunch of weak minded people swallowing the Leftist agenda.

The same kindergartener plays football and has already received four or five tournament rings. Freaking ludicrous.

The only one I had was 12th.

I guess my college had one but I didn’t bother going.

Ha...I did not even go to kindergarden...started 1st grade as my sister started kindergarden. And I find this graduation before 12th grade ridiculous.

The only ones I had were high school, college and police academy. They had Dean’s list ceremonies every semester that I was eligible for, but I never went to them. I was too busy working or doing homework.

I’m 68 - just 3 years older - and the only graduation was from high school, my senior year. I did not attend kindergarten; went directly in the 1st grade before I turned six. We had elementary schools - grades one through six. Went directly to junior high - grades seven through nine - with no graduation. Middle school was not conceived of back then. Did 3 years of senior high school - grades ten through twelve. Only after finishing my senior year was there a graduation. Holding graduation from kindergarten, from elementary school, from middle school, is bravo sierra.

“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.”

We didn’t have 8th grade/Jr High graduation. But the school my older brother and sister went to did. I felt like I totally got gipped.

It’s funny how you remember these perceived slights even 55 years later.
