The Poojer Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Who could have seen this coming??????? Shocking!!!!

KD in CA Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Tatianna Dennis' son, Tarrell, took his eighth grade photo complete with cap and gown, but the day before his grammar school's graduation, Tarrell learned he would not be marching down the aisle. Does anyone else find it completely ridiculous that there is a big graduation ceremony for every other grade all the way through school now? Cap and gown for finishing (or not in this case) eighth grade? WTF? More nonsense from the peddlers of the 'self-esteem' education. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 were you k-6th? we were always k-5th grade and middle school was 6, 7 & 8th grades Yep, K-6 was in one building, 7-12 was in the other. 7 & 8 were considered Junior High, 9 - 12 was senior high. Since I've graduated, they've added onto the High School, and now 6th is over at the high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
