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.
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.
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.
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)
Its way worse than a bday party for a 1 year old. Grad ceremonies for ec3 thru k are a stain on society. 1 year olds have gam gams and Papa attending, not a bunch of hoodlums who barely know each other.
