This is ridiculous. Controlling teenagers doesn't work. Either teens have been instilled with values they care about, or they will simply do whatever makes them feel good. You can't stop them. If "grinding" was all we were doing wrong when we were kids, our parents would have been much relieved!
The best way I could describe the dance is what a teacher later referred to it as a 'dry humping orgy.' .
Your opinion on thos topic basically depends on what generation you are from. Older people think it is a great idea but the yougner people don't see what the problem is.
I cannot understand what all the fuss is about.
Youngsters will always dance in whatever manner they choose, they have always done this irrespective of how their parents and elders tut tut and mutter "Morals these days are going downhill fast", it is more that an older person's perception of youngster behaviour has changed.
I'm not sure about the schools in New Zealand, but most schools in the US do have dress codes.
The policy is not only a fine decision, it is a great policy. Schools should take the next step and make dress codes. Not necessarily uniforms, but standards at the very least. Additionally, drill teams should not be allowed to dance as if they are having sex, that is ridiculous and sets a horrible double standard. I don't care if they watch that all day on MTV. Students are under the legal and moral care of adults until they are 18, then they can do whatever the **** they want, until then, they do as they are told. End of story.
Society is pathetic... and that is seriously ****ing up our future citizens, thus compounding the problem.
The only thing putting a policy in place against grinding does is make them want to do it more.
It's stupid.
If anything, once they break the rule for grinding they may as well go for the gold, right?
Draw lines in the sand - when and if they actually matter.
Grinding is the least of our problems at a school dance. I'm far more worried about the kid with three lines of blow and a pocket full of roofies.
You ever tried dancing with a partner who offers no resistance at all? It doesn't work too well. Opposing pressures provide stability. When you are young it is a time for rebellion. If the adults don't give you anything to rebel against, it sucks the fun right out of the whole experience.
The kids are right to oppose the draconian rules of their elders, and the elders are right to impose their old fashioned common sense on the rebellious youth. This is how the world is supposed to work.

It really seems that as long as the students are fully clothed, no harm's being done, and perhaps the school officials should just look the other way.
It seems inappropriate that they be patrolling the dance staring at students' crotches, anyway.
No... it is proper parenting/role modeling in reality. Hell, let's just do away with all rules and conseuences. ****. You want to shoot somebody, go ahead since making that illegal will just make kids want to kill the whole class instead of just the one kid. Talk about stupid.
Right, because those are the two choices. Ignore vandalism and theft, since they aren't doing drugs. Ignore swearing at a teacher, just words, I mean at least they aren't doing coke on the tabletop, right? Dude, your posts are hysterical.
Reasonable as usual, ten.
I agree. I think it's interesting that you'd make that comment to Ten while making the comments you made to me however.
Wow. Deep end, much?
I agree. I think it's interesting that you'd make that comment to Ten while making the comments you made to me however. Perhaps it's in the way I wrote it originally, though you certainly more than responded in kind. I do think it's interesting that Ten and I said the same thing, yet you seemed to have completely opposite reactions to it.
This was an article I wrote for my website back on May 2nd. I thought you might find interesting.
The “No Grinding” Policy
The rest of article can be found on my website. But what do you think about this? Should there be such a policy?
