 Posted: Sun May 14, 2006 3:22 am Post subject: Can anyone attend the prom ? |
 |
|
Dear teachers,
I have a couple of questions about a prom.
I heard that a prom is a dance party for graduates and they usually
attend it in pairs.
My questions are:
Suppose that you are a graduate who has a girl friend younger than you or older than you.
Can you take her to the prom or do you have to look for someone else
as a partner among other graduates just for the prom ?
If so, the prom would be attended not only by graduates but also
other people of various ages. Can anyone attend the prom
if only being asked to come with by a graduate ?
I need your help.
Thank you very much.

It has been awhile since my prom days, but let's see what I can remember.

I heard that a prom is a dance party for graduates and they usually

Actually, there are often several proms for different grades (meaning different years in school: 10th grade = sophomore prom.... 11th grade = junior prom.... 12th grade = senior prom). After graduation, there are no proms, so actually, no one at the prom is a graduate yet, although the seniors will be graduates in a few weeks.
My questions are:
Suppose that you are a graduate who has a girl friend younger than you or older than you.
Can you take her to the prom or do you have to look for someone else
as a partner among other graduates just for the prom ? You can take anyone you want. The idea is that at least one person from each couple goes to that school and is in that year of their studies. It is very common for boys to take younger girls, and both boys and girls can take someone from a different school, if they want.
If so, the prom would be attended not only by graduates but also
other people of various ages. Exactly. |

Anyone can go to a prom as long as they are coming as a date of one of the students. I go to an all boy's school, so I had to take a girl from outside to the prom (which was only about 2 weeks ago )... but yeah you can take anyone as long as they are going with you as your date.

Was that an "all-boys school"?  One thing to add--some schools might have age limits. My high school didn't allow people who were 21 and older to attend. |

Yeah, slip of the tongue  . I don't think my school gave us any limit on who we could take, but I guess they also assumed that we would take a girl close to our age.
