Punctuality and being on time is now starting to be regarded as the "norm" in most high schools. The skills learned in school are used for the rest of a persons life. The rise in unreasonable deadlines has in turn made for a rise in bad late excuses, doctors notes, and unexcused absences
Students are forced to do assignments and just hand them in with imposable deadlines! One of the local students was quoted saying "we have to read a WHOLE book in 6 weeks?" Unreasonable deadlines like these are forcing kids to come up with better and better excuses, simple classics like "my dog ate it" just don't get the job done anymore. Another student told us that Mr. K the local math teacher made him do 20 questions and how that was an unreasonable task. Recently students haven't been doing their work on time and its the teachers duty to chase after them to get the students to do their work. The students are fed up wit the teachers getting them to work instead of letting them go on facebook and socialize with their friends.
While students shouldn't be forced to hand in their work they should also have the freedom to show up to class whenever they feel its appropriate
