[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone else completely over and done with how complicated (and downright hazardous) Homecoming has become? My kid is at Whitman in MCPS, which had it this weekend, but I’m guessing the formula is pretty much the same in other nearby schools (some pretty awful dresses for the girls (and I’m no clothing prude), dinner, monuments for photos, afterparty). My DC is totally extroverted and loves being social but even they say it’s just too much. Yet, they also feel compelled to participate. And now I’m seeing all the photos of their friends on Instagram, many of which really should come down (obvious drinking). It’s all just so very…not good. I guess I'm part of the problem for supporting their participation, but I'm no where as supportive as other parents (organizing party buses, hosting an afterparty with alcohol, etc.) Perhaps I'm just a killjoy, but I was so relieved at 12.30 on Saturday night when DC was home and it was over for another year. Just a vent I guess, but I am curious if others feel the same way I do.[/quote]

All of this is only standard for certain parts of the county, but not most. My crew in east County is not doing all this, but my students in NW are. [/quote]
