here is an indignant letter to the editor of a singapore broadsheet. briefly, the mother of a six year old is shocked that her child's preschool graduation will not involve little tykes crossing a stage in gown to collect their scroll and having their photographs taken. it will instead feature a concert. in her words, this is a painful omission.
perhaps this is kindliness. lest junior fail to make it to a real tertiary commencement, let's give him the works now! he knows his numbers! his colors! his alphabet! he's earned his mortarboard! egalité! ignorez raison!
perhaps for his primary school graduation, when he knows his fractions, he can wear the bonnet!
