Girls must have their hands off their knees and the floor

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>So our school sends out our usual schedules and PTG info, along with this new thing, about school dances. I'm not allowed to go to them, because my parents see letters like this and freak out. Basically, it goes into explicit detail describing how every person "must remain in a vertical position...students are not permitted to bend over...grinding and freaking are not permitted...front-to-back touching is not permitted...hands should be visible at all times and should remain on shoulders or waists only...students are not permitted to straddle legs or hips."</p>

<p>I haven't been to dances, but I've been to enough legitimate all-night house parties to know that this is just insane. What do they want high school students in 2009 to do, a slow waltz? Do any other schools do this?</p>

<p>haha. WOW. They actually describe them in such detail??!!</p>

3

<p>omg hahaha lmao too funny!</p>

4

<p>oh dear. thats sad. No, our schools send no flyers like this.</p>

5

<p>Lol, our school is pretty well-known for our dances. Since we’re an all-boys school, we’re allowed to bring anyone else we want, provided they’re a girl. Our first dance gets over 1000 kids, and we’re a relatively small private school.</p>

6

<p>wow that’s blunt.</p>

7

<p>well you know what my school did?</p>

<p>they sent 3 inch cards along with our schedule which says “wear your uniform with pride!” our skirts are suppose to be three inches off our knee. how lame.</p>

8

<p>They want you to country line dance, duh.</p>

<p>Our school doesnt even have dances anymore.</p>

9

<p>Haha, I got these. No one listens. Our dances usually have around 2500 kids split between 2 rooms and maybe four adults.</p>

<p>The old rules for our school dances were allegedly published in Playboy as being “outrageously Puritanical.” I wish I had saved them there. It was like “no bumping, grinding, wallowing, moshing, jerking, freaking, jacking, popping, bumping, fondling, humping, licking, rolling, kicking, mashing, shoving, disrobing, sexual kissing, etc, etc.” and it went on for a paragraph. There were somethings in there of which I had never heard.
But no one ever followed those rules. The teachers show up to “chaperone,” but they just stand in the corner, order a pizza, and try to believe that they’re not seeing their favorite students act like wildebeests.</p>

<p>That’s a shame Biggie. Firstly, it’s weird that it was so detailed. Secondly, it sucks if they actually enforce it. i haven’t been to a dance at my new school yet, but I know that my school “discourages” grinding. I’ll find out soon if they actually enforce it, hopefully no. </p>

<p>The schools want us to play pattycake, but I Think they need to cut some slack here, especially at an event where kids are supposed to let go & have fun.</p>

12

<p>My school doesn’t do this…</p>

13

<p>I go to a Catholic school. They say no dirty dancing but whatever. Dances are usually lame anyway.</p>

14

<p>you know what’d be funny? if a school manual actually said it PROMOTED grinding to encourage a variety of social interactions.</p>

<p>but lol that is fuuuuunny. our school doesn’t go nearly into detail as that</p>

15

<p>I have a dance this friday.
I go to a catholic school as well.
Our school is small. They have lots of teachers come. Basically just regular dancing, no one-on-one. It kind of sucks haha. I mean people do grind but as soon as a teacher sees them they get a warning. Like the teachers will actually go into the crowd to tell people to stop haha. Besides, the schools so small everyone knows everyone anyway so its sucky either way. I go just to act crazy with my friends.</p>

<p>and just the very casual grinding… nothing obscene like you see at some dances.</p>

16

<p>“Leave room for Jesus.”</p>

17

<p>Haha. That’s a lot of detail.</p>

<p>(Off topic, but it reminds me of the time our student handbook told us we are not permitted to “depants” a student. So basically we are allowed to pull down someone’s pants as long as we don’t pull them back up…)</p>

18

<p>I keep on interpreting this title wrong. Whenever I scan over the title I get X rated images in my head.</p>

<p>Carry on.</p>

19

<p>Dude, slow dancing is fun =)</p>

20

<p>“Leave room for Jesus”</p>

<p>Do they say that at every catholic school? They say it at mine all the time haha</p>
