Friday June 17th: Credential Inflation?

I can only imagine what the Tiger Mother would think of this...but on Friday Seth "graduated" from daycare. 

Yup, another successful year completed.

The effort that the teachers had put in was impressive.   The kids sung songs, there was a reception and a video where they interviewed each child and asked them what they wanted to be.

An interesting note: the girls overwhelmingly wanted to be mommies and princesses and the boys? They wanted to be race cars. Not the driver, but the actual cars.  It was incredibly gendered.

But the parents got adorable graduation pictures of the kids in little hats and gowns (we have two now since Seth also "graduated" last year).  It was sweet, but as someone who didn't bother attending either my undergraduate or law school graduations, I couldn't help but raise a bit of an eyebrow at the whole thing....
