Principal Hoagland cancel prom, in Kellenberg Memorial High School, in Uniondale, New York. The reason was because parents were planning on spending $1,000 on prom dresses, tuxedos and immoral activities, after prom for teenagers; immoral activities that involved drinking and sexual activities. These immoral situations can lead teens to bad things like lose control of themselves and teen pregnancy, which can cause complaints against the school. Also because it 's a Catholic School, I also agree with Hoagland on cancelling prom to avoid immoral. But at I also disagree with not having a prom for the school.

I understand it’s expensive to buy dresses, tux, limos, and hotel rooms for their children. But the principal has no control over rather …show more content…

Sex and drinking is one of the sins the Catholic Religion won’t tolerate. If the students attend to a Catholic School they’re supposed to obey the rules by following them. At time the other parents will speak out against the School allowing the students to drink and have sex. Not all teen were a condom when they have sex. Some teens can either catch aids or pregnancy at a very young age. Due to the complaints from the parents, Hoagland could also lose his position as the principal of the Catholic High School.

I understand why the principal would cancel prom. But at the same time I believe the school should still have a prom. Proms are usually when student get together and have fun. Teenager love enjoys fun events, which makes them a lot happier. Prom involves music dancing and food all together. It can also be a social event when friend can get together, young couples can get together. This school event can also bring memories to teenagers, and as they grow older many of them will see it as one of the best times of their …show more content…

However parents spending money for prom shouldn 't be a problem for the principal. They just wanted to see their kid have a good time together, with friends. It’s good to have a prom in high school when it comes to seniors graduating and they don’t have the very special moment with friends. Its even worst when some juniors and seniors loves a special someone in there heart but can’t share a special moment in school. But because Kleinberg Memorial High School is a Catholic school, Principal Hoagland wanted to save the student from doing things immoral after prom that may harm their

  • Hazelwood East High School Case Summary

    582 Words  | 2 Pages

    At Hazel East High School, the school has a sponsored newspaper called “The Spectrum” that is written and edited by the students. On May of 1983, the high school principal, Robert E. Reynolds, received the edited version of the May 13th edition. Upon inspecting the paper he found two articles that he found “inappropriate.” The two articles contained stories about divorce and teen pregnancy. The article on divorce featured a student who blamed her father’s actions for her parents’ divorce. The following article featured students at Hazelwood East and their experiences as teen parents in high school. Reynolds immediately asked for the two articles to be withheld from that weeks edition. Reynolds had concluded fairness required the father in the divorce article to be informed of the article and given the chance to make any comments. He also stated that changing the names of the girls in the teen pregnancy article may not be sufficient enough to keep them unidentified. Also, the topic is not suitable for younger students. As a result he forbid the two articles from being published. On October 13, 1987 Cathy Kuhlmeier (a student at Hazelwood East High) claimed that Hazelwood East High School was violating her First Amendment rights, and her case was

    The focus on the appearance of the schoolhouse was mainly limited to the private schoolhouses, which wanted to attract the best students. Schoolmistresses decorated the school so that they looked relatively well-off, and conducted the school to give the appearance of a family/domestic setting. Unlike the public schoolhouses, the private schoolhouses aimed to attract a small number of the best students, whereas the public schools wished to attract enough students so as to collect an adequate amount of money for their salaries and other extraneous fees (Pederson 142).

  • Argumentative Essay On Underage Drinking

    771 Words  | 2 Pages

    Underage drinking is a serious issue. It is very common amongst young kids, and can create harmful effects, if not handled the right way. Pons Diez & Berjano (1999) state some of the issues that can come from drinking alcohol include: “cirrhosis, pancreatitis, hemorrhagic infarcts and some forms of cancer” (as cited in Seinfeld & Galarza, 2014). That is why the issue of underage drinking must be put under control. However, in order to do so, one must first understand the origin of underage drinking, listed statistics and facts, possible solutions for combating underage drinking, and understanding underage drinking from a Christian worldview before moving forward. That way, one can know how to better handle underage drinking and move forward with making positive changes.

  • Persuasive Essay On Abstinence In Schools

    986 Words  | 2 Pages

    For many years abstinence has been regulation among the united states for teaching teens about sex. Students are not taught how contraceptives work, where to buy them, how to get checked for stds and other valuable information that people who have sex should know. Instead, the educators decide that just telling the student body not to do it would cause some magical thinking upon the kids, creating them not to participate in sexual activities. What these schools fail to realize is that it is not about what they want the teens to do, its about what the teens are going to feel obligated to do. The schools fail to see how poorly abstinence really works, how poorly it teaches sexualy active teens to be protected, and how poorly it prepares students for potential STDs and pregnancies.

  • The Classical And Secular Education Vs. Secular Education

    2405 Words  | 5 Pages

    The cost to attend a private school is much more than that of a public education. On average, a student attending a private school will pay between $3,000 and $10,000 per year in tuition (Schlesman). Although private school children pay much more, public school children are paying money to attend school as well. Unlike a private school where you pay for everything up front, a public school requires that students pay for most classes through a class fee. After paying the class fees that they may have, the students still then have to pay for any school supplies they may need and any books that are not provided by the school. Most parents will not send their children to a private simply because of the money, but when in reality they will be paying for their children to attend school either way. With this in mind, parents should put their money to good use and send their children to a school that will teach them to have good character, morals and standards according to the Bible. However, a second downfall that a private school may have would be the dress codes. Most private schools have a stricter dress code than most public schools do. Though this is somewhat unnecessary, it can actually be very beneficial to both the students and the parents in the long run. By enforcing such a strict dress code, students are being encouraged to dress appropriately in a place of work. By teaching them at a younger age to dress
