Bugger the reasons for the ban. Who the hell would want to go to a Prom. Is it just another american culture-import.

When I left school, i was glad to see the @rse end of it and the tw@t brained teachers and kids I had to put up with.

I was an exchange student in the US (Van Buren, Arkansas to be exact) when i was 17/18 and went to the high school prom.

Load of old bollocks. No booze, no drugs, no fun.

Birds were fit though, and the English accent works wonders in that part of the US...

Pah! that were equivalent to one barely scraped level 6 O level when I were a lad!

PS Bleedin' idiotic. Extra lessons are pointless for bright chldren, they would be better off experiencing more of what there is to life than dull target led cramming. This forcing all to attend is just PC crap so unacheivers do not feel singled out for being unacheivers.

Society needs a safety net but make that net too generous and you can hardly be surprised when enormous numbers fall into it. I would not personally force poor acheiving kids to attend either. Personal freedom an' all that. Just restore the good old principle (other than for genuine disability) you don't earn, you don't eat.

level "6" O level?

Sod the Prom.

I got a lot out of sport at school, and the more important item to me in that article is that she was thrown off the netball team.

i.e. you couldn't get a date, you had an outbreak of acne, your belt wouldn't buckle over your size 36" waist, and your school colleagues would have given you a reception of eggs & flour had you had the nerve to show up.

Any chance of you repeating the vanishing act?

Here's hoping.
