We have proms because there's no decent family TV content made in the UK any more. Bizarre reasoning, eh?

We import all the TV tat from the US, so after-school dance lessons become cheerleader practice and school discos become proms. Nobody decides to "import" such concepts from the US, it's just because it's all that kids see on TV, the concepts stick.

I do find it a bit unnerving though. At my child's school, they ran a slideshow including prom night pictures done by a pro photographer. The dresses and the poses were all a little bit too mature... These kids are age 10 and 11 FFS.

(It's not professional jealousy, either. There are three parents at school who are pro photographers, and only one can get the gig.)

(OK maybe a bit jealous)
