    Because the technicalities of the word grad which is used all over has got nothing to do with the thread in fairness

    The traditional understanding of the word "graduation" is that it means receiving a certificate for the course that you have studied after passing the final exams of that course. The farewell ceremonies for Leaving Cert students take place before even the first exam starts, never mind before the results are published. Therefore, the referral to farewell ceremonies as "graduations" is blatantly erroneous and one of the most BS forms of political correctness.

    blatantly erroneous or otherwise that is what they are called. it doesn't change what I was saying.

    this post adds nothing to the debate, it splits a hair.

    in any case the ceremonies are a very important part of every school year in most schools and will continue unabated....
