@I.V. Oh, I think it's just fine for seniors who have graduated to spend the night as they please. Is it just fine for me? Nope. I was invited to the after-prom party but with prom on a Sunday night and school on Monday morning, I had to decline. This said had prom been on a Saturday night I would have also declined. It's one thing to stay out late drinking, dancing and partying with your peers but I don't need to be around for the night's steady decline as my students get drunker and drunker and subsequently less and less fun to be around. As an adult who has looked out for their well being for the past three years, whether they are actively students or not, I feel responsible for them and for this reason I don't need to partake in the post-prom partying. Prom was a wonderful opportunity for me to celebrate their achievements and strikes exactly the right balance for me.
