<p>One of the guys that makes the announcements in the morning did the cutest thing ever today. For one of the classes in my school, every year the students have to 'marry' some one(planning from proposal to ceremony). Well, this year this guy decided he was going to ask the girl over the intercom. He had left a present under her seat in class and told her to look. It was so cute. Does anything cute like that happen in your school?</p>
<p>we did that one day in health...only our marriages were arranged through a hat</p>
<p>No, but once someone sent a prom invitation through a troubadour group in which they participated. I was not in the class the year it was done (it caught on, and the next year students could buy singing valentines for their loved ones. It was quit after my freshman year for some reason which I do not know.)</p>
<p>This is their whole fourth marking period grade(well a big part of it). It's bad news if they fail.</p>
<p>Wait, the marriage is for a grade?</p>
<p>The proposal, the planning, an engagement party, peer evaluation, and a few other things. The ceremony is just finishing off the deal because everything that is being graded is being handed in the day before.</p>
<p>is this for a biology project where you are supposed to "have a kid" with someone in your class?</p>
<p>Probably would be a health class if anything.</p>
<p>No, I think it is the Sociology class and it's just the up through the marriage.</p>
<p>Would the pair get a lower grade if the girl refused to say I do?</p>
<p>I think something like that might work in the Asian Studies class when Heian age literature is being read...but the students would hate it. It would sound like an AP Dating and Relationships assignment. (If that class was ever invented...)</p>
<p>that's depressing - getting heartbroken over a school project...</p>
<p>I'm not sure if the grade would be lower. I'll find out when I take sociology, but that won't be until my senior year.</p>
<p>Oh and thinking about the proposals reminds me of what someone did last year. Some guy wrote his proposal on the entire side of the wall of the school, so she would see it when she went to her car.</p>
<p>My best friend and I had a child together in biology class.</p>
<p>I had to do that too, except the person wasn't my friend. awkward....-_-;;</p>
<p>Could you imagine the problems if people were graded on a Health final by whether or not a student got a prom date by the end of the year.</p>
<p>there'll be a ****load of people at my prom this year, because apparently no one in my school likes each other.</p>
<p>everyone at my school just pretends to like each other... so they all go to prom and then rip on each other after.</p>
<p>real cool</p>
<p>purrli, how does that work? Many people show up because they don't like each other? But you also described this phenomenon when referring to your own situation. I don't understand the rationale.</p>
<p>as in, everyone's bringing out of town guests or underclassmen - no one is going out with each other.</p>
<p>my own story... umm my date and I have clashing personalities, and I just hope on prom evening we won't end up yelling at each other lol. I asked him because a) everyone get dates b) he looks good c) he's willing to come.</p>
