When I went back to school when we wrote on animal hide and the classrooms were lit by the lamps made from the fat of mammoths, graduation ceremonies at school were low-key affairs.
Now it seems that thousands are spent on dresses, suit hire, limo / horse drawn carriage hire, corsages, pre-function parties, functions, post-function parties etc. Oh, please.
Then, it seems that we have graduation ceremonies for every level. Isn’t this a little bit precious?
Can’t we remember times as special without going overboard? Apparently not.
Like graduating from kindergarden? Actually that;s kind of cute, but I get the point...
ReplyDeleteYes, I guess that's what I mean. Although, I'd have no problems with that because it's a juncture - one school to another.
ReplyDeleteWhat I'm a bit cranky with is the expectation that there is a ceremony every year - overkill in my opinion.
Thanks for the comment, btw.
