Do I need a prom at school?
September 1 is long gone, and the school year is in full swing. Someone went to the first grade, someone quietly even for himself turned from a fifth grader to a sixth grader, and someone moved to the graduation class.
It is the pupils of graduating classes that cause the most interest, admiration ... and pity. Here you and 7-8 lessons a day, and extracurricular classes with a tutor, and preparation for exams, and trips to universities of interest on open days, and preparation for moving to another city.
But there is another important event that every child who finishes school must prepare for. high-school. And today we will talk about this school holiday, which often turns into a kind of village wedding. And the opinion of the graduates very few ask. Why? Parents will decide for themselves, will do no worse than the rest, and will pay for everything.
Preparation for the prom ball begins in September and stretches the entire last and most important school year for the student. But photo shoots, inventing and learning congratulatory poems, finding outfits for the prom distract from the most important thing - the educational process.
“Exams and difficult adulthood lie ahead. We need to learn and absorb knowledge to prepare properly. But no. We're being taken off three classes for a regular school album photo shoot. This is the third time. Parents even made a list of who should be photographed with whom. The photographer decided otherwise. As a result, everything turned into a rare mess, the students complain.

“We do not need beautiful photos. It is much more important to prepare for exams and enter the budget, so that the parents do not pay later. But no, we are forced to rehearse useless semi-circuit numbers and learn dull poems, — resents graduate Ivan Vetoshkin.
Behind the ceremonial masks hides all the dullness of the event, where parents look at “suddenly grown up” children, and they restrain themselves so as not to run away with friends to celebrate somewhere far away, where quiet, calm and few people.

Some say that prom is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. It's true, but is it really necessary to spend a lot of money on it? For example, graduates of one of the Kharkiv schools give the money collected for graduation to the local department of cardiac surgery. This donation helps save several lives. Isn't it worth giving up an expensive suit or a lavish dress, starting adulthood with a good deed?
Earlier, a similar initiative was made by musician Andrei Makarevich, whose daughter graduated from one of the Moscow schools. For the organization of the celebration, each parent was offered to contribute more than 200 thousand rubles. The musician was shocked by this request.
At the family council, we decided not to go to prom. Celebrate at home, humanly, with family. The money that was originally planned to be spent on the issue will be transferred to the hospice or the Khamatova Foundation. Let the child learn to steal money sometime later, Makarevich wrote on his page in social networks.
Organization of prom This is discussed at the parent meeting. And then some want a limousine, and a restaurant, and all the flowers, and separately buffet for the last call, and a photo book, and a movie to shoot, while others frightenedly stare at the eyes and try to bring down the price, but in the end get the money to their child was not worse than others.

Why do parents spend so much money on unnecessary tinsel? To remember? It's a graduation, he'll be remembered anyway. Even now, every parent can easily remember what his prom night was like. And it was unlikely that he was in a restaurant with a tamadah from the Comedy Club, and without a trip in a limousine through the night city probably did.
Parents often save money for a whole year so that their child was at the celebration “the most-most”. That moment of pride for which you have to pay too much. We asked the 17-year-old what kind of holiday she wanted.

“Well, do your hair, dress up, get your certificate, show off for an hour. And then go on a picnic with my classmates. To rent a small house by the lake ... — dreamily answered the schoolgirl.
That’s how it turns out that children want something simpler and more airy, in the company of close friends. Parents try to shine money, dress their child more elegantly and organize a performance with a tamada and fireworks. Should I?
