It is questionable. I had to look up "graduate" check the exact meaning.
It remains a little murky because the definition is quite broad.
However... its root is the Middle English "gratuaten", which means to
confer a a degree on. You don't get a degree or diploma at the end of
kindergarten or elementary school. I got a diploma at the end of high
school. Actually, since Ontario had Gr. 13, I got two high school
diplomas, one at the end of Gr. 12 and another at the end of Grade 13,
the latter being considered an honours diploma, which was required to go
to university.

I would suggest that students do not graduate from kindergarten or
elementary school and it is somewhat silly to have something called a
graduation ceremony or celebration.

Many schools call it a promotion ceremony. Parents tend to call it
"graduation". I don't care what it's called.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I've actually been looking at your site a couple of times now. Little by
little as time permits.

When you first started posting, I thought "Great, another f****** troll",
just based on your internet 'ID'.

Looking at your site though, I can see you are indeed a bone fide
'foodie', and have actually given the thought to either emailing you, or
posting, some Australian recipes for you to add to your site.


As for Bob Twitilliger...... every now and then he has a brain fart. They
seem to happen more every now, rather than then. Which is why I have him
killfiled.

Life is too short to drink bad wine, and to listen to morons.

Keep up the good work...... and how about a 'Commonwealth recipes' tab??

I never had no steenkin' school graduations..... per se.


Come to think of it..... every time we did something 'monumental' in the
Army, we had a "Passing Out" Parade!!


Maybe that was to account for the monumental ****-up after 10-25 weeks of
hard slog??!! :-)

Neither do I. I think it's ridiculous.

Ah, yes, but we were a different generation. You touched on a raw nerve
here.

Today's parent celebrate EVERYTHING, spending more time, money and
effort on an annual birthday party than some of our friends spent on
their weddings.

We wonder why many of today's kids are so lazy and lacking motivation,
but it's not hard to figure out when you consider how they are indulged
and congratulated on the slightest achievement like getting up in the
morning and putting their shoes on the right feet. :-(

For years now school teachers have been taught that self esteem is
necessary in order for achievement. I still believe it's the other way
'round--achievement fosters self esteem.

Sarcasm mode on:

"But they have worked SO HARD in kindergarten, we MUST celebrate their
great achievement!"

Very true, my son paid for Culinary school himself, he lived at home
but paid for it all except one book he didn't budget for, $11000 is
alot of money for a kid just out of high school. He worked at Perkins
three nights a week and all day saturday, and still graduated third in
his class. He's now years later an Executive chef.
