+1 way too much pressure on kids nowadays for college. They are just done by senior year.

I think early action and early decision contribute to this. They apply so much earlier than kids used to and know they are accepted. Senior year grades feel like they don’t count and kids start shifting over to that mentality earlier in the year. Then it spirals from there and you add in crazy weather on top of it.

Disrupting class and talking while others are trying to learn does matter.

March is not early. You are lucky this is the first time she was late for class. Some got senioritis in August and some got before senior year even started. -HS teacher

Does the rudeness matter?

FCPS doesn’t take kids being in class seriously, why should she?

Lack of consequences.

HAH, majority of my seniors have had it since winter break. If i wrote up all the "talking while i'm talking" kids, it would be 2/3 of my senior classes some days. These are AP students.

Spring fever and senioritis.

Snow days.

Sounds like DD is experiencing bratyitis.

They've had it with the grind

My senior is also having senioritis. Mid-March sounds about right. They are just so done with all of it.

My 17-year-old daughter, a senior, just received her first ever referral for being late to class, disrupting the class, and talking to a classmate while the teacher was talking—even after being warned. She still has an A in the class, but wow… senioritis is real. 😅



I thought seniors will start acting up in April or May....
