Has anyone chaperoned a prom?

[Catshrink]

I'm trying to decide if I can handle it. My own high school prom was cancelled because too few bought tickets in time. Not that I cared.

Teachers need to do some of these activities as part of our jobs.

I know it's important to the kids, but I think it's too expensive and too over-hyped.

Or am I just old?

1. Chaperon the prom.

Bring your SO, and dance a couple of dances with him.

Yes, it is expensive and over-hyped.

I have chaperoned dances, but not prom. I had fun doing it, and no problems.

2. NO SO, can I bring my puppy?

The kids would love it.

5. LOL

Your puppy would probably get bored quickly. Poor thing. Leave it at home.

6. Nah. He'd find a way to get into the chocolate fountain.

I love my puppy.

3. Armed or unarmed ?

Metal detectors and sniffer dogs ?

I've heard high school is a lot different now than in my day ....
