What are your thoughts on contractions when it comes to grammar?

I personally cannot stand them! I used to use them quite often. However, my Dad who reviews my college papers has showed me the light when it comes to this. Contractions are just ugly and very informal. I even saw the news use a contraction in one of their headlines.
