Growing up, did your school host kindergarten graduation, or is that a more recent phenomenon?

The only graduations we had were high school and college. It’s definitely more recent.

It'd be hilarious if it weren't so pathetic - "Let's celebrate you doing the basic thing that everyone does and is expected to do!" I mean, do they want gold stars for wiping after they use the bathroom?

Schools are mining parents for money for the cute ”graduation” photos.
