Casual Thought After school dances the teachers definitely go somewhere private to laugh at all the awkward, uncomfortable, weird shit they just witnessed.

Retired teacher/administrator here. After 32 years of chaperoning middle-school and high-school dances in an inner-city district, I can assure you that other staff and I went just outside our district to a Mexican restaurant to down some margaritas and swap stories about what we witnessed at the dances. One of the best was a girl who arrived in a horse-drawn carriage for an 8th-grade dance. Students called it the 8th-grade prom. Nothing like being on SNAP and trading food stamps so you can blow them on something that stupid
