In a recent inquiry to Miss Manners, a parent expressed concern over the confusion surrounding the inclusion of kindergarten graduates in church ceremonies. While the family does not view finishing kindergarten as a graduation, many other families seem eager to celebrate early education milestones. The parent worries that such recognition may lead to misunderstandings. Miss Manners agrees, asserting that graduation should signify an actual academic achievement rather than a mere transition. This exchange emphasizes the evolving nature of celebrations and the importance of distinguishing between genuine accomplishments and mere advancement.
Miss Manners responds to a parent's concerns over kindergarten graduation, suggesting that celebrating such milestones can dilute the significance of actual graduations.
The secretary's persistence in including children who haven't officially graduated reflects a trend in modern celebrations that sometimes overlooks the traditional meaning of graduation.
