Prom Bingo


A school in Illinois uses a "bingo" system to pair up Prom dates, to take the pressure off of students stressed about finding dance dates.

Is this a good idea?   Should EDHS consider a similar program next year?

Not my place to say but I think it should be offered to those who can't find a date after 2 weeks... only if they want it though.

I'm more of a traditional person, so I don't think that implementing this system for the general student population is a good idea. However, I think that it would be a good idea for those who want to participate and especially for those who can't find a date.

I think that could be a good idea, and a disaster at the same time. The whole stress of prom only adds to the excitement of the whole "season," as it were. I think that it could be a disaster if they used the bingo system because it could pair two people up who don't know each other/don't like each other. That could be bad and could make for a night you WONT want to remember.

i personally think its stupid. its like all those reality tv shows or online dating to find love. what happened to simple meeting in person and getting to know each other, not getting paired up. but i mean whatever floats your boat.

this is a horrible idea, the idea of going to prom with somebody you dont even know is so incredibly akward.

i think you should beable to do that if you want. and those that already know who they want to take then they should. but that shouldnt be a rule. that would suck! and to what britney said. i agreee

hAHAHAH! thats weird. what if you got stuck with a whack date. no fair students should be able to choose themselves. they have the choice of making it stressful or not. how sad is it that a school doesnt want to stress there kids out about a prom date. hahaha

This approach could possibly be a good altlernaltive way to get a date to prom but only if you were in need of a date.

i think it could be a good thing or bad if you are paired with someone that you don't like.
