Personally, I think they are a joke and are just another extension of the "everybody gets a trophy" mentality of our society.

I had to sit for a moment to take stock in myself, because partially I agree with you on this. Here the elementary schools are K through 8, the unfortunate truth is getting through 8 grades is quite an accomplishment for many of the kids, as it was for their parents, and may be the pinnacle of their academic career. For others it's a rare opportunity for attention. They even have an 8th grade prom with all the pomp and silliness of the high school version.

Regarding the part in bold... that actually gave me a bit of a chuckle.

As far as kindergarten and middle school graduations; they didn't exist when I was in school, and I somewhat agree with the "everybody gets a trophy" sentiment.


There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
