My Son is Not a Graduate!! He's a .....

I have WHAT in my yard? :

Is this the graduation from the school or the "completion ceremony" for the program only?? Some programs have separate "celebrations" and they are not allowed to call them graduation because they are not the main graduation ceremony from the school.

That is how it works for some of the high school programs around here. They needed to separate the two events. Also, we have the levels of "graduation" too. Ours get certificates if they finished but did not pass the final exit exam or still need to take another summer school or something to actually "graduate".

So let us know!! What is the scoop?

This is the crux of it. He completed the technical program in addition to his normal High School requirements.

And there's the rub - What genius decided we need to give them separate titles, graduate vs. completer? That is pure academic foofaw (which some imply is one cause of our undoing).

This was extra work, on top of Tim's other studies. He excelled at both and will be cycled forward from both.
There is no need to call it anything but what it is: a graduate is a graduate is a graduate, in other words.
If you're going to infer some bogus title, at least give it some clout.

How about: Accomplisher? Forward Progressor? Achiever? Do-er?
I'm open to suggestions. I personally like Achievement Recognition Ceremony, if we must go there.

(See how dumb that sounds? Same with 'completer'...)
 
I thought a "Completer" was that set of serving utensils for your sterling flatware or the gravy boat, sugar/creamer and serving platters for your fine china.
 
The best part of being able to raise my own kids the way I want to is that when one of them doesnt win every time or get a prize just for showing up I just say "thats how life is, try harder next time!" I dont encourage them to participate in activities where I know every kid gets a trophy just to make them feel good, whether they excelled or not. We had to compete when I was a kid, and I felt like I had been cheated if I genuinely won something but everyone else got something just so they didnt feel bad.
