I saw some pre pre-k graduation pics from a family I know. Not pre-k, not kindergarten, but pre pre k. Little excessive to me. I don't have kids though.

Pre-k, K, and 8th grade graduations are stupid.

I'm sick and tired of hearing all these parents say how proud they are of johnny graduating high school. I mean come on now how fricking hard is it to get a high school diploma!

I startd to include those in this also but didn't want to overload the OT.

It's not the end of the road any more. Unlike my grandparents, kids no longer finish 8th grade then hit the farm.

It's not a very difficult goal to obtain for someone in a functioning family

If you live in the hood it starts to get dicey

You should have a graduation if you are finishing at a school. So I don’t have a prob with 8th grade graduation

So that would be conditional? What about schools configured as 5th through 12th?

Kindergarten and 8th grade graduations are meaningless.

Then you don’t get an 8th grade graduation. The graduation should only happen upon completion of the last grade the school offers

Never heard of any school having an 8th grade graduation. What schools do this?
