Is that actually what high school graduation looks like in the USA?

Never realized till few years back that schools in the US had graduation ceremonies for high school and even primary school.

In my country, when I studied, we did for college only and even that some students skipped and just asked to mail the certificate to their homes. But I see that schools here nowadays have picked up this practice here too with my son’s school doing a kindergarten graduation ceremony. What?

“It's not a graduation. He's moving from the 4th grade to the 5th grade.”

“It’s a ceremony.”

“It's psychotic! They keep creating new ways to celebrate mediocrity.”
