Christ, they're doing a proms at my daughter's junior school now, I despair. The utter utter melts.
They quite rightly banned proms this year at my eldest lads junior school, on the grounds that it put unfair pressure on parents to spend a fortune on outfits, hairdos for the girls etc and limo's.
They put on a school leavers disco instead and the kids were totally happy with that.
However some of the stuff that " outraged " parents put on Facebook, beggared belief. It was like the Jeremy Kyle show had been brought to life.
Apparently it's " the right " of an eleven year old to have a prom !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Some of them even tried to get a campaign going to get the school to change its mind ( it didn't work ).
