Kindergarten: The university of life
June 28, 2007 by wapentake
The graduation plague is spreading throughout Canada. It has now reached the kindergartens.
In this Toronto Star article, a principal defends the kindergarten graduation ceremony claiming that, “Everything your children need to know about life and living they learned in kindergarten.”
All the little scholars passed with flying colours and got to wear a mortar board.
So I guess they also learned the lesson that, in life, everyone is successful to the same degree regardless of the amount of effort.
They also learned that some adults will do the happy seal clap at any given opportunity.
They will soon learn that, for them, graduation ceremonies are fast becoming annual events. On these occasions, everyone gets to celebrate the wonders of an education system where everyone is a success.
At least, until it really matters.
