Do schools need to curtail provocative dancing at school events?
by
Laila Weir
Yes. Dancing these days is getting way beyond the acceptable, and we need to do something about it. These are kids, after all, and they're our responsibility.
Sometimes. Schools should set some boundaries -- and enforce them. But they should also show kids respect by maximizing their freedom to express and enjoy themselves at dances.
No. There are much more important things school staff should be worrying about. If anything truly untoward is happening, it likely breaks some other rule (or even law) already in force.
