2. They have kindergarten graduation ceremonies now?

4. I'm 56 and I remember my kindergarten graduation.

We wore caps and gowns that our mom's made us and I sang "Bicycle built for two" as a duet with a cute little boy.

9. I'm 40 and didn't have one

I thought it was a new thing too.

13. My son is 39 and didn't have one either.Maybe it depends on

the school system or the kindergarten teachers.

21. I'm approaching 46 and I had one.

It was a southern Baptist private school though. I'm not sure if the public schools had them then.

5. My grandmother used to run a kindergarten and children "graduated" with caps, gowns and diplomas.

Somewhere I have a picture of me in my little cap and gown. There's a picture from forty years or so before that of my mother as a little girl also in her cap and gown in the same spot.

6. Kids get a ribbon

for everything anymore.
We "passed" grades when I went to school,Graduation happened after you successfully passed 12.

14. Be careful, you may be tagged a conservativecrankfreeptrollbot

and same as you, there was 1st, 2nd, 3rd place winners and that was it in my school events and never wore a cap and gown until I graduated from HS in 1991. I think the "everyone gets a prize" movement has not yielded the best results either IMO.

20. In Middle and Elementary schools we didn't have a formal graduation.

We just had end of the year parties. But that was enough for me, formal graduation ceremonies in kindergarten is way over the top. Grade school should be like the NBA finals - no one gets to pop the champagne until the final minute of the final game.

7. They've had them for many years now. n/t

8. Everything must have a carbon footprint. You socialist!

Well I'll be damned. I thought this was some new concoction. I didn't have a graduation. I just figured this was the new fossil fuel version. I was wrong.

11. I finished kindergarten May 1985 and I had a graduation.

I remember singing "I'm a Little Teapot".

19. I never graduated kndergarten

Does that mean my HS and college graduation is invalid Maybe I can take a few classes to get my KED?

[muntrv]

3. I hope the teen girls weren't the ones graduating.

[joesdaughter]

10. Good one

Thanks- you gave me my first laugh of the day.

[Marrah_G]

12. Might have been their kids........

~facepalm~

[CokeMachine]

17. Thanks for the second laugh!!

[BlueStreak]

23. That is exactly what I was thinking. And I was not laughing

It is very likely the truth. Three could definitely be some 18-year-olds with kids in kindergarten, and it isn't hard to imagine them being the ones getting into fights..

Regarding a graduation ceremony. This is just wrong. What is next, the Kindergarten prom?

Actually I'm way too late for that.

[CokeMachine]

15. Thanks for the laugh!!

[winter is coming]

22. DUzy!

And if they were, they got their "diplomas" revoked for epically failing "plays well with others".

[HappyMe]

24. You never know.

[snooper2]

16. Almost all female, pipe and hammer taken by cops outside

Idiots--

[rocktivity]

18. Shame on them, throwing tantrums

and acting like a bunch of spoiled five-year-olds...oh, wait...

25. Sounds like the adults need a timeout.
