Thus, a failing grade could be assigned for the course and no credit awarded if, in the thinking of the teacher and the administration, a student has willfully declined to meet all responsibilities in the subject. In sum, do not expect that passing grades in a subject for all other grading periods will mean a passing, final grade and credit if you stop working these last weeks of school. While we all know the condition exists and are familiar with its symptoms, we cannot escape the fundamental conclusion that it doesn't have to exist. The faculty, the administration, and significant portion of the students do not feel compelled to accept it or even, indeed, to recognize it as a legitimate excuse to do or behave any differently than before. The commonly held expectation in our and other cultures is that its senior members are held in respect and thus serve as models or leaders for others.
Respect is a result.
By viture of your class standing, the faculty, administration, and students respect you for what you have accomplished thus far. Consciously decide to maintain that respect for the remainder of this school year and leave us all with positive memories of the Class of 2001. Seniors attend all classes. Seniors take exams in classes scheduled Blocks 1 and 2. The afternoon will be open for seniors to take make-up exams as needed.
