Sorry but heck no. When a child (teenager) doesn't follow the rules in their "parents home". My parents raised me to where "I don't have a room, yet a place to stay till I'm 18." Now if I paid all the bills in the house then it would be my room. These are the choices of the child: 1. Accept the punishment and don't make that mistake again. 2. Move out of the home There are rules and regulations, and it's the child's fault for the situation he/she has put themselves. Did someone put a gun to his/her head? She made the choice to do violate the rules and she'll be punished according to the people in over authority. Besides that, UIL sports must have parent permission to allow their children to participate in extra-curricular activities. Extra-curricular are things not required for you to do while your in school. Will the same friends that think it's wrong to punish him/her be the same ones to bail that person out of jail, get them into college, take care of her, etc. :whistle:

I forgot this one. 11. Incompetence.

When I say ignorant, I'm talking about people who don't listen to reason, truth, etc. Like for example, some people from Longview hate Tyler Lee because they felt Tyler Lee had an easier schedule and Longview beat REL in regular season. That's my version of ignorance. I'll amend rule #7, I hate: 7. Ignorance & people who make excuses for not getting the job done.

Top 10 Things I hate: 1. Arrogant people (Just some in my school alone that I would just KO' them like Ali) 2. Girls who think they are all that but really aren't. 3. People you have helped, but then they stab you in the back. 4. People who claim to be your friend (again stab you in the back.) 5. High school kids that care all about sports and not their grades (do enough to get by). 6. Fake people. 7. Ignorance. 8. People who like to get other people angry. 9. Immaturity. 10 Aw heck, I really hate arrogance

I bet the kid dotted his i's and crossed his t's. If he screwed up he would of been the goat of his high school.

Good thing mine is on the 25th of January lol.

That's why I say they should make the rule then enforce it. Once they see that there won't be any tolerance for that activity, then more people will begin to obey. When they outlawed smoking at Longview High School, people still tried to smoke. As they soon learned, it came with a concequence. Now you can't see people smoking in the hallways. Sure, people still smoke at the school, but they hide and it is not seen because they know there are consequences and that they will be stiff. That I seriously agree with. I felt that since the very beginning, that he has no power on this. Let the kids freakdance until you have a legal policy/rule about this. efkptc said it best, a lousy administrator.

Going a little off topic, I have heard about the workload being huge the first semester. My hair stood up when my history teacher told us about the bell curve that the professors used on tests and exams. Back on topic: How can you say freak dancing degrades only girls? This isn't to you Beevo IV bt somebody else. As I stated on the opening post that boys also dance on the girls like girls to do guys. Again I state my pet-peeve: I hate double standards.

I am listening and I see three huge flaws in your first post. There are night clubs that not just 14 but ages 13-18 can go to. I can name several starting with Graham Central Station, The Oil Palace, Electric Cowboy. Graham opens up for teens this Sunday because the kids don't go to school in observation of MLK Jr. If you don't believe me try seeing for yourself at around 8:00 p.m. if you don't believe me. Second you really can't say that the staff of a club will supervise kids at a club. There are cops at these clubs and they with common sense take their line of work seriously. Graham has about two-six cops working their teen nights. Then at a school, you might have a cop, two at the most. Third, this is the 21st cenutry. Things have changed from your era to your daughter's present. Society changes over the course of time and that's inevitable. The things that teens might have done for fun, adults might of thought it as disgust. MantleLives4Ever this is to you: There are rules to govern school. Yet the school system we have has done many good things for society and yet it regresses society. Story about this one kid before prom, he gives out condoms to his classmates. The administration jumps his case. You and I know very well those kids were going to after prom to a party and you know the rest. *in discresion for this website* How is that you may ask, because the kid dispensing them out, knew exactly what they were going to be doing. Some adults say he's infringing the ok to do it but as teens and young children, it's in our nature to do something that we're not suppose to do. At an elevated rate, kids know more about the facts of life outside of home and school. Sad thing is that the adults are just now catching on to how much knowledge their children have to what the parents thought they have. There are no rules in clubs about dancing. In middle school, they would have rules measuring you on how close you were to your dancing partner. In high school, it's a bit relaxed. However, the only rules that relate to sexual matters are school dress codes and sexual harassement. They have rules of not allowing CD players inside the school. You can kill my argument by just simply write in a new policy. I feel as if those kids should get their money back. That's what I'm truly steamed at. Also known cases of freshman college kids flunking out by 1st seimester was largely due to kids who partied too hard. And the common factor was that they were sheltered in the house by their parents. I'm conserative about partying due to my rough schedule in classes to maintain grades, but the one thing teenagers must learn before college is how to make good decisions and be man/woman enough to live up to those consequences. Part of "Maturing."

What's different about a club to a school dance. You have to pay fee/cover charge to get in. Clubs also have rules and are more enforced than a school. And again I state would you rather have your daughter: A. Coming home from a friend's party under the influence. B. Shaking her booty, rubbing up on a guy at school. Keep in mind that you wouldn't hear about the school. Most parents just check their children on grades, conduct and sports. A teen dance, most parents would ask, "How was the party?"

No. Most teachers are so uptight that they wouldn't dare think of putting it in policy. And if it was a state law, a lot of club owners in East Texas would of be having Triple Life sentences. What is there to paddle about? You can get into serious trouble paddling for reasons not strong enough to validate it. Last time I heard, paddling is on when you fight, swear, or are in serious misconduct violations. I don't think two people dancing on each other whether you people think it's "imitating sexual intercourse" is a strong enough to bring out the paddle." By the way, when you fight at KHS, you are immediately arrested, 3 days suspension, 3 Days AEC and if it damages property, they may slap a $500 fine and maybe add it as a felony to your reccord if truly serious enough. There aren't many things teens can't do to have fun that is in accordance to violate the law. Then you have teachers in their old set ways that they think it's a personal disgust. Don't get me wrong, I like my teachers at my school because they're cool with me and vice-versa. I stating that high school is one of the events of your life you won't forget. We're suppose to have our credits and graduate on time, yet the faculty forgets that good fun is healthy to kids. It helps establish socialization to the child and determine what their personal views are. If the kids were there in the first place, they were upstanding kids to begin with so they should earn the right to reap the fruits of being good in school. Many teachers seem to act like they were the good kids throughout high school, and I bet 70% of them were doing things that at the time people thought were "taboo" :wacko:

Yeah. He has overstep his authority in power. I mean, it's like the jurors gave a convicted criminal, a prison sentence, and then the judge thinks it's too harsh of a punishment and he reduces it. Why have a jury in the first place? Also someone said they are imitating sexual intercourse. If the kids paid to get in the dance and there are again NO RULE nor POLICY on how they can dance, then it should be everything goes. Now if the kids were stripping while dancing, they would be violation of school dress code and that could get them in serious trouble. I thought it was outright ridiculous. I wish the kids could of get a refund because of the dance.

I can agree with you except that there is no rule. No policy nor nothing. It's like a cop searching for drugs and such and he has a warrant to search your vehicle for alcohol. Better yet he has no warrant. That's what I mean about it

I tuned in to the CNN and the internet and learned that a principal has announced plans to cancel dances due to the freak dancing. The bumping and grinding the girls do to guys is by quote " disgusting and demeaning to the girls," from the principal and adults. The main thing is the two important dances this school was going to have: Sadie Hawkings and the Junior-Senior Prom. Many students provide this was unfair to punish all students when only some were dancing this way. I talked to many girls and some agree with the principal while others say it's clearly a wrong punishment. Keep in mind also that the principal has warned them several times. I'm for the students. As a seventeen year old, I've been at many teen clubs, and it's just not the girls dancing like that. Boys have actually "backed it up on girls." I call that role-reversal. So if there was to be demeaning, it's to BOTH boys and girls. I seriously think that double standards are sexist. All girls have self-esteem. Some girls think of their esteem so high to where they don't care and want to have a great time. Other girls could have it so low to where they don't care about it either and just want to shake it. Another thing is that maybe the school doesn't' offer dance classes. Quite frankly, all kids know slow dancing and country is prevalent not just in the south but in New York, California and all the major states. You may not believe it because of the media, and most TV Stations like MTV or BET. So they know some country dances. For the record, freak-dancing has been out even before "House Party" (mid 1980's) and your now just finding out the new thing. People in that school, start monitoring your kids more efficently geez. To the truth, KHS does not have a school policy on the way you can dance. It states how to be eligible for a dance, stay out of trouble, how to get a friend into the dance that is not a member of the student body and currently enrolled in another school. I'm sure that many if not ALL schools have policies of dancing at a school sponsored dance. Provide there are some universal rules such as "No fighting, no weapons, drugs etc." This is something of his ruling and I think he's out of line. Maybe it hurts him but not the students until you took away PROM. Last thing is that those dances are NOT free. You must pay your way to get into the dance and quite frankly, if you pay three to seven dollars to get into a dance, and you're not allowed to dance that way, area't you wasting his/her time, money and killing the fun. When this situation happened to me, I just straight up went back to the house and till this day, have not even bothered to go to a dance that's wasting my money. For that three to seven dollars, I can get breakfast and go off campus to eat lunch. It may not be much to adults, but students it's important. Also he took away prom, California is the most populous state in the nation. If there were 2,000 juniors and seniors starting off, they can have their prom sponsored by a business. They can easily put in a share of money, decorations, foods, drinks and photographs . The kids have a select prom comity to do their own decorations. As long as the business gets the money, make sure the place is not damaged, cleaned up, and out of fire code regulations, the kids can have their fun and the principal would be hurting the school by not getting a profit made off prom. I believe it's wrong for the students to not do what they were told, but the principal went about it the wrong way. He'll grant the dances back if they act great and straighten up the behavior, but they have a right to have fun when allowed to have fun. Personally, I would challenge the situation because it's not a policy, but a non-stated rule that he aridly enforced. Parents would you rather have your teen son or daughter either: a. Shaking her booty at a dance b. Partying at a friend's house that has alcohol or drugs and your child has to drive back home under the influence. I think shaking her booty at a dance would not kill anybody compared to choice b. There are security measures taken and girls are quick in these days to file complaints sexual harassment. Please don't say neither, I'll seriously give you the automatic answer that you'll want choice b. I seriously in my mind wouldn't't care who she was dancing as long as she didn't bring home a young man that would later harm my child because then I might be in prison. :whistle: This is my huge long post. If you can handle reading all of it, please post your thoughts and opinions on this. I want this to be on topic and please post this logically. This was meant to be exactly read through with no intention of missing anything..

:cry:

I used to see the SNL's with Dan Akroyd 70's-80's on that channel with Howard Stern show etc. My favorrite all time skit is Celebrity Jeporady: Category of An Album Cover Connery: I'll take an anal bum cover for 100 Alex. Trebrek: Aren't you trying to say an album cover. Connery: If you look at the blasted thing it says an anal bum cover. *Camera points to the board for a few secs and the punch line is caught* :lol:

Yeah I remember that game. That was when Longview went to state and lost their 1st game of the year.

5a: Kelly and that boy from Lufkin Lane, the Runningback. 4a Muckelroy is really overated, nothing personal it's just I really haven't seen as good as runningback or linebacker as from other schools such as Kilgore, Lufkin T. High etc. I go with Collins at Defense, Gillum for offense. 3a 2a and 1a: Have no idea about them.

Yeah when Perkins transferred from Marshall to Hallsville, that ruffled some feathers. Can't wait to hear about Perkins playing Marshall.

Petey Pablo Freek-A-Leak: I can give anything you can handle"

That's a good rap song. How about Tipsy by J-Kown: "I wonder if a shake come with them fries, if so baby can I get them supersized."

Top 2 Rivalries in the state: 1. Longview vs. Marshall 2. Kilgore vs. Henderson: It's very rowdy everytime we play, signs are stolen spray painting all over schools and even gets to the point of a little fighting. We all must be getting anious for another year of High School Football in East Texas

Rusk let me help you out, that's Lil Scrappy who sings Head Bussa, Lil' John just makes the cool beats and sound.

I hated Pulp Fiction, very boring and stupid... though it did have it's funny parts. Loved the Star Wars and Matrixes except I watch the Matrix for the fighting and not the dialogue, and Episode 2 didn't have enough action. I 've heard that the last one, Star Wars 3 is going to be very powerful. I thought Lethal Weapon 2 could have done better. Loved 1,3 and 4. Club Dread was a past time for laughter and that was it. Last but not least, I believe that whoever made that movie, School of Rock, someone should tar and feather him. I saw the movies and thought that wasn't interesting to even rent.

Al Bundy real name Ed O' Neil ( from Married with Children) John Ritter, Paul Hennessy (8 Simple Rules...) The Current Distric Attorney, Sam Watterstone is his real name in life (Law and Order the orginal) Chris Rock (That stand up was hilarious, SNL was funny when he did his skits, and Lethal Weapon 4.) Ice Cube (The Friday Trilology and the next new Friday coming out. Those movies are hilarious.)
