Senioritis

This year I am learning more and more about Senioritis. In today’s Fort Worth Star Telegram there is an article about Sen. Shapiro’s view on Senioritis. I agree with her.  Seniors think it is a right of passage to have a fluff year as a senior. This hurts them as they prepare to go to college. Instead of getting in the study mode, many end up having a year off. Then they have trouble adjusting to college.

In the article they mention dual credit classes. This is a great program. My son is taking it for senior English. A great way to knock off senior English and 12 hours of college English. I wish our school district offered more of these classes. Many seniors end up taking blow off classes or being student aides. If more dual credit classes were offered, seniors could be preparing for the future by taking additional dual credit classes. Ok school districts, why not offer more dual credit classes?
