Forgoing Senior Year
" According to the Education Commission of the States, twenty-one states allow early graduation from high school. Among the other 29, it's not entirely clear whether state law actually prohibits it. Thirty-five states allow students to finish high school based on mastering proficiency standards in state tests rather than satisfying course credit requirements or years spent in school" (Toppo).

    Summary Of Bring On The Elites

    Instead of pressuring students to complete a certain course, schools should support students in the decisions they want to make. In the article Why I'm telling my students not to go to college, Gordon, a student teacher in agricultural education at Ridgemont Public schools in Ridgeway, Ohio says, “we know that it may not be the best choice for them, we are cheating them of reality and a worthy, challenging education simply because they are the textbook version of a ‘good student’ (Gordon). A sufficient grasp of history, literature and philosophy is the most important things needed in order for one to understand the time and place that they are present in. The freedom to choose for oneself is the most valuable thing a parent, society, and teachers can give a student. There is nothing wrong with taking time off after high school or going to a community college.…

    Senioritis In High School

    For most students, Senioritis won’t appear until the later years of high school, most likely the end of junior year and of course during the senior year. For the most part, I don’t think people just become lazy and de-motivated overnight but Senioritis is more of a thing that you adapt through your high school years. Many students try to make their senior year the easiest by doing everything they can for the first three years, so when their senior year comes around you’re not totally swamped with schoolwork. Usually, some seniors get out at the end of fifth period, and some are out of school after lunch. Despite contracting ‘Senioritis’ many students don’t get Senioritis because they’re just so pumped to get out of high school and keep moving…

    High School Should Be 18 Essay

    One reason people should stay in school until they’re 18 is because people will get a higher income. As said by Missy Remiss on the WSCH radio,”Those without a high school diploma have lower earnings.” This means that people won’t get as much money as if they finished high school, or went through college. Also, the data analysis chart shows that people who drop out of high school only earn a total of 19,540 dollars a year as opposed to people who…

    Sophomore Year In High School

    High school is a different experience for everyone. The first three years really blend together and do not seem important, but senior year is completely different. Freshman year was full of confusion, learning an array of new things. Sophomore year was where life started to get fun and you “belonged” in the high school. Junior year was where you see the little light at the end of the tunnel, but it was filled with anxiety and frustration. Senior year is where it all becomes worth it and the rest of your life is finally going to begin.…

    Why should a child be allowed to dropout at 16 when they are not eligible to vote or join the military? Teens in South Carolina can’t buy cigarettes, alcohol, or even a lottery ticket until they are 18 but can make a life changing decision to drop out of school while still considered a child. If students are aware of how valuable education is, maybe they will realize that dropping out isn’t a smart choice. Every day 7,000 teenagers become high school dropouts while 30% of students in the U.S fail to graduate on time each year (“Get Involved with Choices as an Individual Donor").…

    Students take a lot out of their high school experiences, ranging from the chemistry experiments to after school activities such as high school rodeo or Friday night football games. According to Jayson “You have to look at the whole four-year experience, of the National Association of Secondary School Principals” Young men and women that choose to load themselves down assignment wise for a two year graduation tend to miss out on other valuable learning experiences.

    Transition Highschool to College

    In addition, responsibilities and duties in high school tend to be much easier and not complicated. High school teachers frequently remind their students to do their homework and to turn it in on the due date; nevertheless, if you haven’t completed your assignment on the due date, you can still turn it in any other day and lose some points. For instance, at the beginning of my senior year, I was slacking off; I wasn’t turning in my homework assignment and even though, I turned it in: it was late. As the days, went by my GPA was starting to drop because of various reasons but mainly…

A high school diploma is hardly worth much in the working world as many employers seek individuals with Bachelor’s degrees and higher. This means that kids who get kicked out of high school will be severely limited in the types of jobs they are able to get and how much money they can…
