I don't know about you, but I kind of thought the "make your kid hold up a humiliating sign detailing his or her wrongdoings in a high-traffic area" disciplinary trend was over. (At least I hoped so.) Alas, I was wrong. Not only is the trend still going strong-ish, it's evolving to include new misdemeanors, moving on from the realm of petty thievery and cursing to ... twerking. Yes, twerking. Don't believe me? Just ask 11-year-old Jamie Hena, a seventh grader in California who dared to twerk at her school dance, much to mother Frances Hena's dismay.
Now, before we go any further, I should point out that twerking is apparently NOT against school rules -- Jamie was in the clear until a friend told her mom about the "inappropriate" moves she busted.
So, beyond the question of why any parent thinks making their kid hold up a piece of cardboard with a half-hearted apology scrawled in magic marker is actually an effective form of discipline, what I want to know is if poor Jamie even knew she was really doing anything wrong. Also, WAS she really doing anything wrong? Um ... nope. Sure, she was dancing "inappropriately" for an 11-year-old girl, but one could argue that The Twerk (as I've decided it should be referred to always from this point on) is an "inappropriate" dance for anyone at any age to perform.
That said, it's no less/more raunchy than any other inappropriate dance craze from years past: When I was 11 years old, Dirty Dancing -- the movie -- was all the rage, and while there was precious little dirty dancing going on at any school functions (boys and girls still stayed far away from each other on separate sides of the gym), it was still something we all knew about and were like, whatever. Meaning Patrick Swayze didn't corrupt us, you know? (Neither did the lesser known Lambada craze from around the same time.) Just like Elvis and his hips didn't corrupt our then-young parents, Miley Cyrus and her twerking didn't corrupt Jamie Hena or anybody else. Because while twerking is tacky and suggestive, it's still just a dance, and to punish your 11-year-old for dancing "disrespectfully" is to load up that innocent butt-waggling with a butt-load of innuendo she probably never even realized was there in the first place -- 'til ya made her stand there with a sign and think about it, that is. So who's corrupting whom??
Do you think this was an appropriate punishment for twerking at a school dance?

Nonmember comment from jasdf 1 hour agoYeah, I am with the mom on this one. Report this commentFacebook comment from Elaine Cox 1 hour agoam i supposed to be mad at the mom or what?..
Report this commentFacebook comment from Kate Cooley 53 minutes agoTotally with the mom on this one. 11-year-olds do not need to be incorporating moves that populate strip clubs at school dances. Show some respect for yourself.

SNAPA 39 minutes agoI'm on the fence with this one...I think it is great parenting to try to correct inappropriate behaviors...however, for this one, I would have done something a little different...such as, chaperoning at one of her dances/parties and commence to twerking my behind off--it would be my way of showing how embarassing and oh so very inappropriate it is for all involve--the twerkee and twerker. But if her way is going to make difference--then go for it.
***BTW, I should have been holding quite a few signs back in my day as a tween/teenager in the 80's...SMDH at the memories of MY wild dancing---but, in my defense, compared to the dancing in this day and age--we were ANGELS***
