Year 6 and off to secondary in September.
School are running their own low key disco (not prom) for leavers. Lovely.
Some parent has decided this is not enough and has organized Prom with an out of school venue, catering, decorations and charging parents £20 to attend (to cover costs).
Tbh it just seems like a party for parents really as there will be a bar.
Not of this is particularly bad, obviously not mandatory but DS wants to go as his friends are. The leading parents have set a dress code as formal (everyone is now picking up tuxedos and dresses).
AIBU to cringe that this is a thing? Or am I just a miser?
as an aside, I work in a school (different one to dc) and we no longer run a leaving disco because it inevitably leads to prom like attire and expense and it's a poverty stricken area. We just fund a (free for parents) big end of year trip for each class.
