I can understand kindergarten because back in the industrial age once you got done with kindergarten you went to work with your dad in the mines or the factory
But it seems like preschool is a modern thing |

I went to kindergarten in the mid 70s. It was a half day at the First Baptist Church of the small town. We had a graduation. They also had a ceremony when you completed the grueling weeklong Church Camp.
Real school didn't have kindergarten. The class below mine was the first one that went to kindergarten at real school. I guess they carried on the tradition. We didn't have 1st grade graduation, but we did have one in 6th grade. You went from king of the elementary school, to the low man of Junior High. |

When high schools started passing anyone with a pulse.
If what used to be a huge accomplishment that required lots of effort can now be achieved with no effort.... then the rituals no longer have value and can be used for anything. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Girlieman: A bit of fun for little children... Go for it and enjoy. It's this. Obviously the only requirement for graduating preschool is that the parents pay the tuition and the kids don't bite anybody or otherwise cause a massive disturbance. But to the kids, it's a big deal, and they are very happy to do it. It's harmless. It's not like they grow up thinking "hey, I graduated preschool, I'm something." |

The kids are doing some kind of skit or short play for the parents instead of a typical graduation ceremony. I wouldn't miss it! It's just something cool for them to acknowledge their accomplishment, don't think too much into it like you do about everything O.P. |

My son graduated pre school a couple days ago and were still holding him back. Haha. So he will graduate preschool twice!
It's pretty cute. The kids do a little show where they prove they can count to 100, know the days of the weeks and months, can say the lords prayer (Christian school), know their address and both parents phone numbers, etc. I appreciate that they prove to us they are teaching out kids important stuff. |

Honestly, I barely get the point of junior high graduation, it was a relatively new concept for my school when I was young (mid 90s).
I asked my dad about it.  p3590: "I thought graduation was for high school and college?" p3590 Sr.: "You go to school with those kids, how many of them do you thing are going to graduate from anything else." |

It originates with women that realize there is no fucking way the fruit of their loins is ever going to finish High School. So get the 'Graduation' memories in when you can.

I always figured it was to excite the kids about accomplishing something to be more excited for the real schooling.
These days it seems like it's a moment for the teachers to hold an event to make themselves feel important. Being at a few school events for our girls lately, it's become obvious it's not about the kids... the teachers are wanting the spotlight and attention. |

I recently enrolled one of my children in a Classical Christian school and the headmaster gave me a copy of this book as a gift. It really opened my eyes to modern education as a whole, and it's shortcomings in comparison to traditional education throughout history. The concept of preschool didn't even become a thing until the 1960's.

I can totally think back and imagine how cool that would've been! Shall I assume that if you play Mexican style music your batting average will automatically go up 20 points?
