Tiny Tots Graduating ... what do YOU think?

I think its ridiculous.
It won't be too long before there is a long list of requirements to adhere to.

The children and parents at our nursery love it. It's a nice photo memento to keep and they get a small gift of stationery too. They know it's because they are leaving one type of education and moving on to the next stage of their life. Why do some people have to be so negative about everything. Guess what, they give us leaving presents too-shock, horror!!!

And our year 6 leavers take part in a leavers' assembly. They get to organise something themselves to do in front of the school - this time they sang a song with the words changed to be relevant to the situation, and they did a montage of pics from their school life.

One year the year 6s put out a long table with chairs behind and the names of the teachers in front and did a sort of University Challenge! The teachers are always a bit nervous of what year 6 might come up with! They do not know till the event!

Stupid idea.

Is this another adopted Americanisation?

Crazy stuff - the preschoolers where I am governor are known as "butterflies" and they fly off to reception class where they are greeted by the rest of the school. It is quite sweet and within their intellectual grasp.

Ridiculous.
