Today was the 'graduation' for the HB's Indian Guides tribe. I was talking to one of the other dads who has a younger kid and he was telling me about the big whoop-dee-doo his son's school made of kindergarten graduation (gowns and everything).
I'm a believer in celebrating real accomplishment. Making a huge deal over just showing up (like kindergarten and Indian Guides) diminishes the recognition of really achieving something (like earning the grades to graduate H.S. or college). Let's get real--5 y.o. kids don't give a rats ass about graduating kindergarten. It feeds the parents' ego. Though, I could never understand why ANYONE would think it's a big deal...unless it's the first kid in the family to go to kindergarten.
I guess at some point this trend will turnaround. It won't be fast enough for me.
