[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son has no interest in going to the school dances or participating in spirit week activities.  There are girls in all of his classes and extracurricular activities, and he interacts with them just fine. On the homecoming front, part of it is that he really dislikes the focus on the football team for the homecoming activities and much of the fall.  He's on a sports team in another season that has reached the state finals the past few years, and they get very little recognition, while the football team gets more resources, coaches, etc., while consistently having a losing record.

Also, the rules have changed from when we were in school.  For his school, I was surprised to learn that parents have to OK attendance at a school dance.  And if a student wants to bring a date from another school, there is a form they have to submit that includes permission from that person's parents and their school. Back in my day you just bought tickets if you planned to attend the school dance.  It's overly complicated and many just opt out.           [/quote]

I appreciate the rules. Our school makes it a safe, fun experience with security to insure parent check kids in, check kids out, and no one can leave until parents check out. No strangers wandering in. No guests over 18 and yes, permission is needed. Almost every teacher and principal is there for the entire event. They have a good time with the kids. [/quote]
