[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I taught in MS that were down county, there was a mindset that the 8th grade dance and promotion should be played down because it was being elevated in prestige and pomp to the level of HS graduation and senior prom. We saw boys in tuxes and girls in evening gowns, families arriving in limos, even extended family coming from out of state. Too many of these same kids either failed out or got pregnant by the end of 10th grade. It was ridiculous. The thought was to make 8th grade promotion less of a big deal.[/quote] Long time down county parent calling BS on this. [/quote]
