| My common sense is tingling  |
Not only do teachers not get paid for half of what they do, but their spouses get roped into things too. Now I know I'm getting old. All I keep thinking is, "jeez these kids are too young to be dressing like this".  “You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.” - Robert Heinlein | ||

I just returned from my school's prom. I hope all went well. _______________________________________ Sailing on and off the mooring - sometimes. | |||

So far so good. One group of party crasher tried to awkwardly sneak in and were chased off by the off-duty officers. Yeah, definitely don't remember my proms being like this. “You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.” - Robert Heinlein | |||

I have chaperoned a few Proms for my wife's school. I'm worn out afterwards. I've gone to numerous of her kids senior projects including skydiving for one of her student's charity project for wounded warriors. I've also chaperoned several field trips including a trip to the cadaver lab. It's never dull being married to a teacher. | |||

Before my daughter's prom a few years ago, there was a photo session at one girls house around a swimming pool. One girl had magnificent breasts and she was wearing a cleavagey dress. It was fun to watch her pose for pictures because she puffed her chest out which caused a gravity defying lift of a few inches every time. It was impressive. | |||

It's like a damn contest with some of the kids and parents during prom time. Who can spend the most, who can wear the least amount of clothes, who can get picked up in the stretchiest limo, etc... And it is ridiculous what they ask teachers to do. My wife's niece graduates from high school next month. Graduation is on a Sunday. What genius made that decision? Of course the teachers have to attend but who in their right damn mind wants to spend their Sunday at school? If a parent has 2 off days and goes to church on Sunday, why would school administrators think that graduation on Sunday would be a good idea? _____________ | |||

Isn't that nuts? There are kids spending as much on a prom as they should be spending on a wedding! Of course, when the wedding comes, they will want to spend as much as they should on a downpayment for a house. | |||

Only topped by some of the broke idiots around here that manage to "buy" their kid a Mustang at 16. Of course it really isn't purchases outright, its some shoestring loan that they'll have to default on in <12 months after paying $789.34 / mo for the car and $257.65 for the car insurance. And these people make <$2K a month. Way to think it through, people. At least you are teaching little Johnny that everything in life is free until the repo man comes calling. | |||

508 kids in my graduating class. Besides myself, I can tell you what exactly one of them is doing. I suppose if I joined Facebook I could catch up on 46 years of history but no thanks. Harshest Dream, Reality | |||

I went to prom with my best friend's girlfriend. There is a back story that makes what I did no so douchey. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||
