Student Council student leadership is addressing the issues surrounding dances and the perceptions. It trying to work with both the reality and the misconceptions, student leadership is putting together some guidelines that might provide a format for fun and entertainment without the problems associated with inappropriate behaviors or actions.
Each decade produces its own music, moods of expression, styles, words and dances. For those of us remembering our own childhood and high school years, the conflict between child and parent was usually a line of constant push and pull. In the 50s most adults thought that Elvis was going to ruin free society. And maybe he did. But even that was surpassed by the heavy metal and "free love" and the flower people. So the conversation today about what is too much is only to be expected.
The good side is that student leadership wants to be respectful and supportive. Having fun and enjoying the evening is important. Inappropriate behavior and degrading activities do not have to be part of the events. The point is that the students understand what is happening and are working toward solution.
This might be an opportunity to talk with your children and get their views on what behaviors really are inappropriate and how we can support other students who want to have fun without the nonsense.
