I think I was one of the lucky ones: I caught a very mild case of seniorities sometime back before winter break. It was hard, but I have miraculously still kept my focus of my grades (though I admit there was a slight slip in grades but that usually happens every fourth quarter). I see all these seniors now, especially with about 29 actual days left of school, slacking off and skipping school. It’s going to really suck for them when they get into to college and realize that they’re going to have to start working hard again. Teachers are cramming all these tests, projects, and last minute work into the last three weeks or so of work left; and even though it’s probably for our own good, it’s such a drag. I mean, not that the government project is an issue, but even the regular classes are getting these huge tests and assignments still. And that includes Mr. Bedford’s business classes! We barely do work in there, and we’re still learning business accounting and bookkeeping.
Maybe we had too many expectations for the end of the year and graduation. But tracing the entire life of a single star that lasts for billions of years for a 200 point grade or writing and presenting satires to a class is a bit of a stretch, no? We just took a test in calculus of stuff we learned a month ago and during classes I had to miss for college class registration. I got about 84% on that. I’m not very happy.
Obviously the teachers would disagree though with all the work, but cut us some slack! Government is probably the only class I have now that’s laid back. I should probably stop whining because none of the teachers that I’m complaining about are even going to read this…oh well. I’m still alive.
I think I’m done with this rant as well. Sorry.
