This post about prom brought up a pet peeve of mine. Have any of you had to put on a prom? I am a class advisor and this year my class is in charge of prom. The pet peeve is this: All of the catalogs for prom decorations and favors feature a large assortment of alcoholic beverage glasses as favors. Does anybody besides me see a problem with this? We're supposed to be trying to keep kids from drinking, not promoting it. Call me a prude, but I refused to let my class buy any of that stuff. Instead they will be handing out photo albums as favors. They didn't really seem to have a big problem with this.
