[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The one on one prom date is antiquated.  Kids now prefer to go in groups of friends.  Parents organize the after party to avoid trouble.  [/quote]

THIS is exactly what is going on in our - horrors - public school.  A group of 11 kids, sharing the price of a limo and a parent supervised party at the end.  Safe, sane, no extraordinary expense (the kids are chipping in on the limo, and the girls are wearing dresses they already own).  Sensible.  All the parents know each other.  The kids are having a ball planning it.[/quote]

I hope they are also wearing sensible shoes and carrying home-made sandwiches in a sensible brown bag.[/quote]

What's with the snark, yet the "cheesy public school thing" comment was apparently OK. This forum is all about justifying how private school is best, no matter the measure.

FWIW, my public school DD (who did private for ES) is also going in a group with a shared van. DD got a low-key promposal and her dress is new but cost $120. I know you guys need to believe some hideous stereotype about public school kids, and you will find ways to mock even if the picture doesn't fit the stereotype, but there it is. Oh, and she's headed to an Ivy next year. Over and out....

The original post sounded priggish and smug.  Yours sounds angry.  (I went to public school myself, by the way.) [/quote]

And you just posted twice on this. What's your problem?[/quote]
