Why?

I don’t mean to catch on to this ‘seniortis’ but I have to say I’m tired of doing work. I have worked too hard for too long for teachers to still be giving work - namely these huge projects - during our last two weeks of school. I know the school year is supposedly not over yet but for the most part it is. Why are we still getting work knowing that the teachers themselves don’t want to grade them and we sure don’t want to do them. Why bother having finals? Personally I think that finals should be optional for seniors who actually need the grade boost. Why have I worked hard all year long and still have to look forward to a final but someone else who barely comes to class yet this final is really for them to boost their grade. Extra work only benefits those who need it, why make all of us suffer? Basically, if it seems like half your seniors are failing therefore needing that extra assignment or whatever or any student for that matter, give them that final. Stop making it hard on yourself and us when it’s not necessary.

I feel you. I am sick of doing work myself, but we really have no other choice right? The one thing that we can do about it is say "This is our last full week of High School." That part makes everything prefect. Right?

T - Senioritis and random things that come to KaliQa's head

O - Your opinions are supported with the facts that half of the seniors who are failing need the grade boost and how teachers cater to them to help them out in the end

W - Just a few grammatical errors, whatever

E - Yeah everything

You know, I've had senioritis since freshman year and it has yet to stop me. Great job though!

In college, I had several classes in which my instructor let the students with A's skip the final. So, you might see that at the next level. You're not quite there yet though, are you?

See you for finals next week. And don't forget about the big project we have due.
