What an ugly little bastard he is too!
This makes me positively rage-y!! He deserves more than just suspension. This little parasite needs to feel some pain in his life.
I think he's going to be another basement-dwelling loser who can't score with anyone, and may eventually start raping as a way of controlling the women he hates so much for rejecting him.

Another prom incident. Along with the excess spending, underage drinking, and now even assaults, schools should get out of the business of hosting dances, proms, etc., and focus on educating the kids. Schools should be there to teach, not entertain.

Gee.
And to think that mixed-gender education "teaches each gender" how to properly act around the other.
I don't fucking think so.
Sorry but that story got my single-gender education system dander going.

Did you ever go to a single gender school? I did for a few years and enjoyed it. I think if I could have gone to a single gender school from 8th grade through high school, I would have avoided many problems. I can tell some stories about the inappropriate behavior students of each gender exhibited towards the other and I graduated high school in the 1980s. I don't want to think about what they do now.
One thing I do remember was in the boys' school, earning good grades was something that got respect while in the coed schools, it got ridicule. In the coed schools, boys could either be jocks or losers and not much else. I consider that to be the same thing as saying women should be staying home having babies.
These dances, proms, etc, don't exactly help the situation. Some say they were fine in the past, but times have changed.

i'm not sure if they were ever a great idea, JohnDrake. I graduated 30 years ago from a coed public school. Prom was the end-of-year ritual that meant you were a success if you had a date. In those days, no date--no prom. People didn't go with a group of friends like they can now. And though it wasn't the ostentatious display it is now, it still wasn't cheap. What point does prom serve? Neither hubby nor I went to our respective proms, though it doesn't seem to bother him. Wish I could say the same. Oh well, water under the bridge.
IMHO, prom is part of the pressure to "pair up" and be a nice boy/girl who is acceptable to the opposite sex. And it's a great boost to certain parts of the economy, though it often depletes parunts' bank accounts to cater to their younguns' fantasies. YMMV, of course.

The prom was kind of a non-issue to me. I wasn't really friends with the people who went so I don't care who had a date or whatever. Maybe it's different now, I don't know.

I'm glad I went to a private school and didn't have to deal with these things. I remember the public school kids going on about it all. The parents of private school kids would do something at a Country Club. It wouldn't be labeled as a 'Cotillion' or 'Debutante Ball' or anything like that, because that would be crass. It would be a 'low key thing'. A 'Summer Dance' for the kids who's parents belonged to whatever club. None of the kids wanted to bother with this crap, either, and most didn't.
I grew up in the 'Grunge' era, and there were plenty of Goth and Punk types too - and many kids were like - fuck this crap! Not doing it.
So, we didn't.
YAY! I'm glad I managed to avoid it all. Yeah, I was one of those Surly Kids

In spite of the problems that have been cropping up because of these events, I'm surprised there hasn't been any effort made to do away with them. That's what happens with other things that cause problems, why not this?

This is possibly the best summation of why school sports, dances, events, etc. are a waste of taxpayers' money. (And I'm nominally a liberal).Wish I could post this on Fakebook, would surely ruffle lots of feathers!:chugQuote

JD,
My feeling is that the issue lies not with the students, but with the breeder parents who insist that these events remain the responsibility of the schools hosting them. These are the same people who believe that since adolesence represented "the greatest time in their lives," that it should also be a great time for everyone else, including all members of the next generation.
Even among many of my contemporaries and co-workers, there is real bewilderment when I tell them that I didn't care about the prom, high school sports, dances, events, etc. I just wanted to do my work and get the hell out of there.
If private citizens want to have their own dances, events, proms, sports teams, etc. for those of junior high/high school age, that's fine with me. Let them do it themselves, including financing it themselves. I can't see any compelling reason why taxpayers should be on the hook for funding teenage recreation.
