[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]No graduation for public middle schools[/b].  It would be a waste of time and money to have to attend such a large event and watch each and ever student walk across a stage.

Our local public elementary school had a graduation of sorts for fifth graders.  That was very sweet and much more manageable because it was a smaller number of students.

I know the parochial schools all have graduation for their eighth graders...but they don't have one for fifth graders, and many of these schools have less than 30 students graduating.  It is usually a very nice event taking place in the church with the pastor and other priests in attendance.  The kids all split up for high school, attending a multitude of schools in the area, so this is a nice way to say goodbye.[/quote]

My kid's public middle school has a promotion ceremony. I don't yet know what happens at it, because it's two weeks from now.

Also, apparently it used to be at the high school, but now it isn't any more, because there is no more final exam period at the high school; it will be at the middle school, outdoors. And since we all know that MCPS only got rid of the exam periods to dumb down the education of the high-achieving children in the DCUM demographics, clearly the on-site, outdoors middle-school promotion ceremony similarly represents the MCPS effort to ruin our kids' lives. Or, um, something.[/quote]
