Lets act our age everyone

Today was senior ditchday or as the teachers call it Mommy-call-me-out-sick-so-I-don't-get-in-trouble-day. Or as I'm referring it to as the day barely any senior showed up and teachers got pissed.

News of this event hit the interweb a week or two ago. So the teachers knew. I didn't until today because my suppliers of all my tenor saxophone needs wasn't here. Some teachers didn't get. But there are those few that have their head up their butts and decided to retaliate.

1000 point quiz? Unholy projects? Excuse me but lets be rational.

Point A: They are seniors, in the last quarter of the school year. You would would be digging a ditch for their grades, because they didn't show up. For one day?

Point B: If you fail them for just a quarter nothing happens G.P.A take a dip but hardly any school looks at that anymore. and summer school or community colleges fixes that.

Point C: You are getting upset for missing a day of school and I remember correctly half the seniors have half days which are filled with electives.

Point D: NHS or more accurately Mrs. P. You specifically set it up for the seniors of NHS to come to every class room today and present the invitation to join to the people who made it. If they didn't show then they are forced out? That looks bad on transcripts and the like but all the hard work you force them through, they are in the home stretch with only 30 summething or other days to graduation and you would just take it away?

Well bravo to all the teachers out there who are pissed. Sure seniors need to learn actions have consequences. But lets face it. Its a tradition. That if I'm not mistaken teachers join in years ago too. If you are against it now you should have done it then. This was the only thing they accomplished. The admins busted up the shaving cream fight.

I can't wait for a senior prank day. Mrs. P won't be laughing then, but we all will
