Have you ever chaperoned a high school or middle school dance, either as a parent or as a teacher? There seems to be a wave of obscene dancing that has struck our young people. Are you confused and not sure what I am talking about?
I have provided a link, it give a little “overview” of the subject without the over-the-top dancing. If you are still confused, you can easily perform a search on youtube and find many more graphic videos on this subject.
Granted, throughout history, some children have always gone beyond acceptable behavior and incorporated inappropriateness into many of their activities. However, as parents and educators, we are responsible for guiding our children and students.
There are many schools that have banned this type of dancing, even gone to the point of not holding school dances and proms because students will not change their behavior. Other schools have asked students to sign anti-freaking pledges before attending school dances.
Where are the parents in this discussion? This appears to be an issue for parents and not necessarily the school system. I am highly concerned that lack of parental involvement is allowing students to believe that this type of behavior is acceptable in public places including school dances.
