DC public school “graduates” pre-schoolers.
==========
Yes, I’m a doting grandfather.
My granddaughter Maddie has been attending pre-school at Hyde-Addison Elementary — a DC public school.
Not a a typical DC school since it’s located in Georgetown …
Evidence: Last week, a highly supportive parents’ group arranged for Maddie’s pre-school class to “graduate” in caps & gowns.
My first reaction: It seems like a bit of overkill … but she sure looks cute.
Upon reflection, I think the parents at Hyde-Addison School have hit on a brilliant idea…

I often whine that kids don’t have good role models these days … and that they get “distracting stimuli” that mutes their aspirations.
Kids like to dress up in costumes, but when was the last time that you saw a kid dressed as an astronaut or doctor (or professor).
So, why not dress the kids up as graduates?
Maybe, just maybe, the symbolism will stick to their subconscious … and set their sights on their future graduations.
Let’s start to glorify education again … maybe it will be contagious.
Nice idea, Hyde-Addison parents.
