Graduating FROM...

Remember: schools graduate students;

It's NOT the other way around.

Students do NOT graduate schools

But FROM schools. And yet I've found

 

That many speakers confuse the expression,

Turning it around, and hence,

When they say they graduated

A school, it ends up making no sense.

 

Therefore, say you graduated

FROM a high school or college, please.

To say it correctly doesn't take

A great deal of expertise.

 

Schools that graduate many students

Ought to clearly and directly

Teach their students to say which school

They graduated FROM correctly.
