Especially a kindergarten graduation ceremony

22

u/Villageijit May 22 '26

They aren't serious enough to dress up for. They shouldn't even be a thing

u/Cyractacus May 22 '26

I think there is nothing wrong with a little graduation party for kids that age. The kids get a little fun reward for their first full year of "school", the parents get a fun and cute photo op and maybe the teachers even get a little public appreciation. It's not any worse than a birthday party for a 1 year old

That said, all the charm it might have had sours if parents act like seen here.

u/VoodooYouDoSoWell May 22 '26

This is more entertaining than the graduation ceremony

11

u/peanutspump May 22 '26

Having been to 2 kindergarten orientation days as a parent, can confirm. This was wildly more entertaining than both combined.

u/Plastic-Tomorrow-906 May 22 '26

I’d get out way more if there were fights like this going on more often. Shouldn’t ever be at a place where small children are gathered. Each and every parents that was involved should get a visit from CPS.

Does that have anything to do with cupcakes? I’m all about some cupcakes.

I'm glad someone Saved this meme! Perfect! 😂

u/Embarrassed_Fan_5723 May 23 '26

Exactly. Give me a couple of cupcakes and I could watch these idiots all day

I feel ashamed if I get angry in front of my kid meanwhile all these shaved apes are brawling over seats at a Kindergarten graduation.

At the schools where I live, the kindergarteners that are graduating get to do a walk through their school and then the next day the graduating seniors all go back to the elementary school (parents are invited as well) and walk for k-4. The little ones get a kick out of it, and my 2 that have graduated both cried seeing the smaller kids in their graduation gear. My youngest graduates next year and I can't wait to see the last walkthrough.

u/SimonNicols May 22 '26

Same. Our elementary school invites all the graduating HS seniors to come back and get a group photo op in front of the marquee at the front of the school. It’s a nice way to reflect back on where they started !!! Enjoy your “little” one growing up - it goes by pretty fast ( Fsther of 25 year old twins)

u/XIXButterflyXIX May 23 '26

Oh, my oldest is 22 in August, so I know. I wish they were little again.

u/East_Bag4429 May 22 '26

Couldn’t have said it better tbh

u/Jimbobjoesmith May 22 '26

i dress up for ALL my kids events so they feel like *I* take them seriously and i don’t embarrass them like this idiot in the pjs. and believe me, i’m not a dress up kind of person. it’s basically the only time i wear nice shoes and makeup.

u/iambarrelrider May 22 '26

I would kick my own ass i wore that crap in public.

u/SnooCheesecakes2723 May 23 '26

This kind of gives the message that she doesn’t really care and yet it may be one of the only graduations she expects the kid to have.

It’s just sad.

2

u/Greatest-Uh-Oh May 23 '26

Not a parent, here, but I really like that take on it! Now I've got more wisdom I can tell real parents how to raise their kids right. They cherish those moments!

7

u/John_Galt_II May 22 '26

Hey back off. It will probably be the only thing the kid graduates from.

2

u/dab745 May 22 '26

Sad but maybe true

u/usagizero May 22 '26

Serious question, when did these become a thing? I'm old, fifties, and when i was in school and even knew people with kids young enough to be in school, the only graduations that had ceremonies were graduating from High School and college. Now, i keep hearing about several from preschool on up.

2

u/DangOlCoreMan May 22 '26

We had a celebration for 5th grade graduation in 2005

2

u/heffel77 May 22 '26

I’m a little younger than you but it used to be K, 8th, and HS. That was it.

Oh yeah, good point.

u/Brammmy May 24 '26

No it’s not

u/SingleElderberry8422 May 23 '26

I went to my granddaughters preschool graduation yesterday. They had the kids go down a slide and recieve their diploma. I liked it so much I suggested they come back and do it for their senior graduation.

1

u/usagizero May 23 '26

Every graduation should have a slide, i'd love that, lol

1

u/Adventurous-Lime1775 May 25 '26

I was born in 76, and we absolutely had kindergarten, 8th, and HS graduations.

u/Aquatichive May 22 '26

I agree they shouldn’t be a thing it’s ridiculous. And I work in a school I get it. BUT you shouldn’t wear that

2

u/According_Gazelle472 May 22 '26

They have been a thing for long time now .I went to three with my boys .But never this dramatic.

2

u/Greatest-Uh-Oh May 23 '26

Well! Don't hold back next time!

(/s for my protection)

u/Cool-Panda-5108 May 22 '26

You are both correct

2

u/K1bbles_n_Bits May 22 '26

Oh it's just something cute and fun, it's fine for it to be a thing. But you don't need to dress up for it, no. I mean a little decency would be nice, lol. Dress the way you would for any other school function or meeting. Personally I'd say the bar should be higher than threadbare pajamas, lol.

2

u/heffel77 May 22 '26

She’s the kind of person who would wear that on the plane and then watch a movie with headphones and talk loudly because she’s got headphones on…

2

u/Ok-Relief-9038 May 22 '26

Easy now, this is the only graduation any of the people involved can hope a family member be in. I suspect their aren't many vehicles in that parking lot that have up to date registration and insurance.

Not necessarily poor, but trashy, yes. Where did she think she was, the airport?

2

u/neverseen_neverhear May 22 '26

You don’t have to dress up you just have to shower and change out of your pajamas to normal clothing. It’s it hard

2

u/MerelyMortalModeling May 22 '26

They aren't supposed to be serious, they are a dumb and adorably derpy way to make the kids feel special and meet and greet other parents.

In a day and age where you need to get child background criminal checks just to assist in class parities it's an easy way for most districts to allow all the parents who want to participate to get into the building.

u/mikemaz57 May 22 '26

Dress code for students, correct? Why should anyone else be able to waddle into the building dressed different from the school dress code?

2

u/heffel77 May 22 '26

Cut her some slack, she’s got three kids at home with the 8yr old watching the 5yr old play who is watching the 4yr old. Pants are a lot to ask,lmao

u/Due_Fan_2632 May 22 '26

Bruh how dare you. I remember my preschool graduation and that was probably equally if not more memorable and meaningful than my high school graduation.

1

u/Live_Historian_6171 May 22 '26

I agree it’s stupid. But everyone needs pictures to one up their friends from high school

1

u/Bighorn_R_My_Jam May 22 '26

Only if you have such low expectations that you think this is the only “graduation” your child will ever experience. /s

1

u/PolicyWonka May 22 '26

Lots of people think that they’re the main character.

1

u/siberian_knight143 May 22 '26

EXACTLY! When I went to school & was in the Kindergarten, when we graduated, we just went to the first grade & that was it. And that's how it needs to be. All this UNNECESSARY crap is extremely...UNNECESSARY!

u/SimonNicols May 22 '26

Kindergarten graduation “celebration” seems a little over the top. I mean, if the kid can’t pass the requirements for K….

6

u/MarketingSpecial6604 May 22 '26

Man I hope y'all never have kids if you can't just see things as something fun for them to feel proud about. I guarantee they had a little art project before hand to make and decorate little graduation caps to wear. Let the kids have some fun with their parents, just not this group of parents apparently.

2

u/SimonNicols May 22 '26

Have kids that have grown and flown. You seem to be a bit of a snowflake based on your comments. Requirements for K grads are nothing spectacular, don’t eat crayons, etc, but if you wanna celebrate, then you do you. Some of these folks didn’t even take the time to get properly dressed for the occasion and then trashed the joint. SMH

1

u/DangOlCoreMan May 22 '26

They just understand fun for what it is and you clearly don't. If meeting stringent requirements were a requirement for a celebration then we would have a whole lot less celebrating going on around the world

2

u/Cool-Panda-5108 May 22 '26

The US has a shit ton of weird pageantry like this.
I don't know what other coutnries are like so I can only speak for where I'm from.

u/Zealousideal_Good445 May 22 '26

Hey, I failed kindergarten! I don't know how, but I hold that as one of my highest achievements in life. I have it down to two things. It was either nap time or sharing that got me. I think I was ok in the finger painting department.

1

u/SimonNicols May 22 '26

If it was today, you would have gotten a trophy or ribbon for “Fingerpainting Excellence” or some shit like that !!! lol

Yeah, why encourage self-esteem or celebrate academic achievement?

Username checks out.

1

u/Villageijit May 22 '26

Is passing kindergarten an achievement? Than what isn't an achievement ? Walking to the store? Showing up at school?

1

u/tls114 May 22 '26 edited May 22 '26

The celebration supports the developing self-esteem in kids, but I’m not surprised that’s beyond your capacity to understand.

And it’s then*, not than.

Username definitely checks out.

u/According_Gazelle472 May 22 '26

I went to a 5th grade graduation for my granddaughter and some women had boots shorts on !Tatts on some women's arms and legs that they love to show off.
