I do not think prom is an educational necessity. I thought homeschoolers might have a special event of their own within the homeschool group. Just curious how this topic is addressed with 16,17 year old homeschoolers.
Oh, thanks for answering.
It seems some groups put on very fancy prom clones and others give it a big yawn.
Here in New England I haven’t seen a full blown prom but several smaller dance-y things throughout the year, and a sizeable group that does contradancing.
We have banquets, youth group activities, mission trips to other countries, home parties, etc. Lots of socialization & relationship-building activities go on every week for all ages, AND for high school students. Although most high-school aged homeschoolers I KNOW are already in college, and studying hard to build a career or life calling, so they often don’t participate in planned activities.
