creeping americanisation

I remember those dances. The Simpsons captured it perfectly when the precocious girl with a cel phone joined Lisa's class and organized one: girls stand against one wall, boys against the opposite wall, the dancefloor is no man's land.

This might interest some of you, its a top of American words used ect...

I worry about some of those people.

it was a 'leavers do' when i left in 2000 for me ours was in a local hotel, some people did go all out frocks and limo's but i was dropped off by my dad.
On the other hand i have also taken part in the american version in my gap year and the extent that the kids here go too is nothing to what some do over there.having prom kings and queens and royal courts.
Americanisation is bad in some ways yes but i can tell you there are some things that we could to take note of, the activities that american kids do through school is amazing to the things we get more based around real world applications of skill not just academic
ie event organisation,newspaper and journalism and polatics
