Prom. Graduation. Probation. Stupidity. These are the words that come to mind when I think of senior year. Not particularly in that order but you get the picture. The problem here is mainly stupidity. And this blog is not to point anyone out or ridicule anyone, if you have reevaluated yourself knowing that you’ve done wrong, good for you, I applaud you. But this is just an overall general statement on what I’ve observed, sorry if I offend.
To get to the point, what I have observed is with the whole probation thing, complaints. And these complaints come from the people who have actually already done these things. Meaning they have been stuck in what is known as ‘the wrong’ for so long and when there comes severe consequences they want to complain and give every reason why whatever. And some people will agree that people in these situations are always the first to complain but that makes sense though right? Why wouldn’t I complain about something being based on me? The sensible person who’s done everything should have no say right, but that’s beside the point (or is it. . .?). But anyway here is the solution, now this may seem like common sense to some people but who knows – get your act together. Plain and simple. If you were going to class, on time for it, passing your classes, or whatever it was/is that got you on probation in the first place you wouldn’t have anything to complain about. Do what your suppose to do so you can get where you want to go. People who are claiming all these colleges but don’t have not one requirement to get there, stop. You’re the first one who wants to graduate and be grown and what not, but the last one in your class. And somehow you think you should go to prom, luncheon, graduation, or any other special activity. You came to that conclusion how? But then so and so has to be dumb, called out their name, and everything else because you didn’t take care of your business.
So a simple solution seniors (or would have had you started earlier. . .) was to have started getting your stuff together freshman year. Go to class, pass them, be on time, form a good habit. That way you won’t complain about you not being able to go to prom four years down the line because of 67 absences in English 4. So class of 2012, good luck.

I completely understand what you are saying, but why should we have to go to school when all we need is one class? That is very upsetting, but for those people that need those classes then they do need to be in those classes. For those other people that do not need those classes then why go to them? That's all I'm saying. Why should I run to school and sit in a class that I do not need. Answer me that, and I will let you know why so many people cut class

T-Topic is about senior year. Connects to your theme of inspiration
O- most of your opinions are supported by examples
W- I didn't really catch any grammatical errors
E- Great over all with the 4 elements needed
Wow. An editorial that criticizes. You made some great comments, but is there a solution for seniors who can't turn back the hands of time? And stay away from the 2nd person "you"s. Use 3rd person primarily, 2nd person for particular emphasis instead.
T: I think it's very suitable. People need to realize that instead of complaining so much, they need to take a stand on their own issues and maybe things will get better. I know if it wasn't for my mother working at this school, I would probably never be in class!!! But....that's why I'm back in Kenwood and have been successful! Woo mom!! Maybe that's the solution, parents DON'T know what their children are doing. I'm sure if more parents were aware, kids wouldn't be acting so crazy/"grown." I think Edline has been a huge step toward more parents being aware this year.
O: Your opinions are pretty much supported with facts. I think if you were to extend upon this you could use the statistics of the senior class to really alert people.
W: Just one word is "want" when it should be "what" I believe.
E: All 4 elements, intro, reaction, details, and conclusion
Good job!
T- The Topic was continuous throughout the blog
O- You can really hear your opinions and voice through your blog
W- Spell check is fine
E-I could understand where you are coming from and thats what made it good
I absolutely agree I think that's why I'm sick of most of the seniors because we're supposed to be an example to the underclassman and all we're teaching them is to rebel and complain(well not all). I think we're too old to not handle our business, but I will say doing work is annoying at times. But still education can take you a long way. All your elements were there, no errors, great opinion and facts. You get a 5
This was a good read. I can relate as it pertains to my seniordom. Nice commentary you've got going here.
