[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMO cords are dumb. I went to MIT and it didn't allow anything. In a crazy rat race we don't need even more mini races that don't matter. [/quote] +1 It used to be that we made a very big deal out of post-graduate degrees, a big deal out of college graduation, and a minor deal out of high school graduation. Now, we make a huge deal out of high school graduation (even throwing parties that cost $10K or more), and we expect promotion ceremonies and major school awards at the end of preschool, kindergarten, sixth grade, and eighth grade. It has gotten way out of hand.[/quote] Disagree. High school graduation was historically a big deal, because most people never went beyond that (even today, most American adults don’t hold a college degree). And we have a photo of my 80 year old dad in a little cap and gown from his preschool/K graduation. This isn’t new. [/quote]
