This year's seniors, I know, have looked forward to this unwritten privilege throughout their high school years. Perhaps some changes need to be made to pacify these rising arguments. Perhaps if the attendance policy was centered on deleting those illegal absences, rather than just absences in general, students would feel less hindered and less uneasy in taking days off for educational opportunities or for family emergencies. Perhaps if only those students whose attendance has suffered were included in the policy, instead all students, those students that do have proper attendance rates would not feel inconvenienced. And perhaps if the attendance policy let seniors off the hook, they could continue their well-deserved tradition.
Questions remain, but can only be answered by the future.
