Oh God, does this mean I will have to somehow screw up the courage to (gulp) <i>ask someone</i> to be my <i>date?</i>

Point taken. I think that when it is used here, the term is meant as shorthand for a particular subset of students and, even more specifically, their parents. The kids after all are still growing and therefore cannot be expected to be fully-formed and completely knowledgeable yet. The adults have no such excuse.

Oh, hell, when my step-daughter was in high school, I had impure thoughts about her girl friends all the fucking time. But, they were, you know, <i>thoughts</i>. They didn't paralyze me, or turn me into a psychopath. Jeezus, try being adults, home-skooling dads.

I hadn't even thought about that, but yeah. "The dads on the balcony." What the flying fuck? I had two sons and a step-daughter, and I had no more desire to "monitor" their proms than my parents did to monitor mine. Eww.
