PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Frustrated teachers who have been unable to stop students from grinding on the dance floor have canceled the winter formal at an Oregon high school.
Vice Principal Pam Joyner tells The Oregonian chaperones have tried everything to prevent the inappropriate contact — lectures, shining flashlights, and even T-shirts that said “No bumping.”
Nothing worked. So, teachers at the Portland school are refusing to chaperone the January dance.
The school’s special projects coordinator, Jan Watt, says the students dance like people they see on TV.
Some students told The Oregonian grinding is no big deal, but they wouldn’t want their parents to watch.

Posted on November 13, 2010 at 11:22amEasy solution for this, make all teens who enter a school dance wear remote controlled shock collars. Couple of kids get out of line, zap ‘em all! Bzzzzzt! Bzzzzzt! “Oh, Ms. Johnson, look at all our students down on the floor break dancing! Looks they are dancing the Flopping Fish!”
There is no short term solution to this. I have chaperoned a lot of school dances. Very comical watching kids trying to dirty dance, they simply don’t have those smooth moves. Appears more like they are dancing the Herky Jerky.
I can tell you from experience boys start up this type of dancing and girls go along because of peer group pressure; girls want to be accepted. Boys are animals seeking the physical pleasure, girls mistake what boys do for emotional attraction.
This is not so much a question of moral behavior rather this is a question of lack of appropriate social skills. Dancing like this comes about because boundaries are not set by neither parents nor teachers. Students actually like boundaries and appreciated set boundaries. Within my classroom, I set clear boundaries for behavior first day of each school year, and my set boundaries are enforced equally amongst students. This is appreciated by kids through setting a “comfort zone” for kids; they can count on each other to behave and not cause embarrassment. Nothing worse for a teenager than being embarrassed; peer group ridicule is devastating.
At a school dance, much to the consternation of lame brain administrators, I would take up dancing with select students to set a role model example. I am a professional level belly dancer, some of my moves command the attention of teenagers but I am careful about which moves I use. Making targets of certain students exemplifies boundaries do work and brings effective control over a dance.
“I can’t dance with you! You’re a teacher!”
There is your proof there are boundaries whether spoken or unspoken. Dancing with a teacher is stepping over a boundary line, but is a tempting step.
Drawing attention of students at a dance defeats their peer group attention getting behaviors, those behaviors we want students to avoid.
“Look at Ms. Taha! She is dancing with Johnny Gangsta Rap and she can really dance!”
Students gather around, from a big circle, take to hooting and clapping, and they are under my control, under my thumb. Of course the boy or girl I make a target for dancing is absolutely mortified but behaving, kinda dancing but mostly stupefied. A role model is set through my participation. Least for a time students are under control and some even take up mimic dancing. This works as well when I target a fellow teacher and teachers are more uptight about this than are students.
Administrators and parents wig out, get all huffy puffy, but don’t dare say a word, not until later. This reflects adults, officials and parents both, are so fearful of political correctness they will choose to allow students to have dry sex on a dance floor rather than step up and take charge through good role modeling; everyone is frightened to death of screaming parents.
This sexual dancing is not a problem with moral values, this is a problem with parents and teachers not setting good role models, more specifically, not setting good social behaviors. When you teach kids through setting examples, moral values tag right along. In this case of showing kids the “right” way to dance, those kids attach their own moral values; this way is right, that way is wrong. Kids might not understand for years why this is so but will remember, “Ms. Taha sure can shake a tail feather! That is how I am going to dance! I want to be just like her!”
This is not a moral problem, this is a behavioral problem.

Posted on November 13, 2010 at 11:15amIn “Take the Lead”, Antonio Banderes teaches high school students how to dance. This movie is based on a true story. Apparently the students who can only dirty dance, don’t have the skill or persistence to learn how to really dance with grace. Let them watch a couple of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies to see how dancing is done.

Posted on November 13, 2010 at 12:02pmJEANNIE MAC is a right smart girl, “In ‘Take the Lead’, Antonio Banderes teaches high school students how to dance.”
That‘s what I’m talking about! This is setting a good role model for kids. This is effective, really works.
All kids, but more pronounced with teenagers, have a singular overriding goal: attention. Kids will behave in good ways to earn attention, and they will behave in bad ways to earn attention. Good behavior is to be rewarded, positive reinforcement. Bad behavior is to be generally ignored to not provide negative reinforcement. Both positive reinforcement and damaging negative reinforcement are to be carefully measured, not too much nor too little. This is “parenting skill”.
Kids do not know how to ride a bike nor do kids know how to dance. Parents will take time to teach a child how to ride a bike, parents almost never take time to teach kids how to dance. Riding a bike is a solo act requiring strength and skill. Dancing is a group activity requiring social skill and tact.
Parents are willing to do the bike thing, parents are not willing to do the social skill thing. A bike will take you down the block, social skill will take you through life.
I taught our girl how to belly dance from an early age on. By ten, her belly dancing was of a professional level. Along with her belly dancing lessons came social skill lessons. During her teens, she is the best dancer of her school. This satiated her need for peer group acceptance. At a school dance, not a boy could lay a hand on her nor dare lay a hand on her, save for appropriate slow dancing. Those boys learned our girl would whop a boy upside his head if he did not behave, and she whopped her share of boys, having me whop some principals upside their heads for daring to discipline her for hitting a boy because of inappropriate boy behavior.
At school dances, a couple notions, her dancing skills are so good, teenage boys are intimidated; they want to dance with her but they behave. Other notion is boys could not get their hands on her nor have our girl dance they way “they wanted”. Our girl knows how to ride a bike and knows how to socialize with power.
Dancing lessons also include social skill lessons. Dancing is a skillful eloquent art requiring equally eloquent social skill. Taking time to teach a kid how to dance is also taking time to teach a kid good social behaviors.
By-the-by, Ginger Rogers was a better dancer than Fred Astaire; Ginger danced his every step except backwards and in heels.

Maybe a couple of really big parents could partol the dance with you like bouncers. One man died for the sins of many. Many did not die for the sins of a few. But of course its the kids and we parents have no control. We wouldnt want to get involved with them to personally we might make a difference.

Nah, nah, brute force only prompts teenagers to be more defiant. Spankings work well for little children not yet capable of rational thinking. Teenagers, you have to get inside their heads to have control over them. This mind control usually only works when you convince a teenager there is something beneficial for him; positive reinforcement.
“Become a great dancer and girls will rip their clothes off right before your eyes!”
This is motivation to display select behaviors. A little lie goes a long ways.

Posted on November 13, 2010 at 10:52amI have recently gone to a high school dance as a chaperone and EVERY child was simulating sex as they danced. Girls bent over with guys rubbing hard against their rears. Girls laying on the floor while a guy lays on top and bucks his hips up and down…. They were sweating and laughing, quite the event. It was amazing and there was no way to stop it because they ALL were doing it.
And if you try to punish the kids or cancel a dance their PARENTS scream bloody murder. The parents think it is fine and go after the principal or whoever tries to take action.

Posted on November 14, 2010 at 2:39amI’ll answer for him. Soros’s ilk have caused this by wanting the degeneration of our youth, and our citizenry. This kind of thinking, this kind of ACTIONS puts a mindset of rebellion into the minds of those affected. Rebellious minds work towards the ends of those who want the downfall of America, because the American mindset is one of morals, descency and responsibility. If you take those values and make them insignificant to an individual, they will be more succeptable to the mindset of “overthrow’ of the American ideals. So when the youth doesn’t care anymore, and the idea that “America is evil” is paramount in their psyches, they will be obedient monkey-soldiers in the revolution against the Constitution of the United States of America. Indoctrination of the student-youth is THE key in the revolutionary’s handbook of civil unrest. Make no mistake, Soros wants these kids to be as pissed off and free-wheeling as they can. Their trained minds will be more apt to follow “their’ orders of “go get the oppressors!!!” Then a home-schooled, well adjusted kid whose parents instilled a value system in them that you would have to pull from them like good teeth.

The parents need to get more involved indeed with these events, let them see for themselves what is going on and take more responsibility for their children going wild like this. Lack of proper manners, respect of teachers, and discipline have helped reduce the morals of most of the generation to the shape it is in now. I have seen good kids and young adults of the Generation Zero though, who are disciplines, polite, and respect their parents/teachers/bosses. They are not as rare as people think, myself at one time included, yet it is the true troublemakers that garner the attention and make the rest tarnished by them.

There are some foxes in the henhouse, and we need as ALL parents or stewards of our children to stand guard with a shotgun loaded against this kind of behaviour, and teach well.
Those who stand shall succeed, those who turn a blind eye shall reap the whirlwind. And suffer a consequence such as you see here.

One… Parents should make a video of them bumping and grinding and show it to the kids. It would gross the kids out so much they would never dance like that again.
Two… The school ended up doing the right thing. Two thumbs up for the school!
