Their last year of high school should've been the easiest, but the seniors feel that this is the worst year ever. Instead of having fewer classes, they tend to have more classes. Why is that? Ask around, and they'll tell you why.
Seniors are piled up with classes that they don't need, while some of them don't even have the classes that they do need to graduate. The elective classes would've just made their transcript look good. This isn't a bad thing after all but most of the seniors feel that this is a waste of their time. "Why take extra classes when I could've been home resting?", said senior Sekanderjit Kaur.
Most of the seniors in general feel the need to take a break from school. They've been working so hard since the beginning of their freshmen year and it's only fair that they have some time "off."
However, it's not all of them who think the same way. It wouldn't bother some of them if they could've stayed the entire day in school. "We've reached that far, so why slack off?” said senior Vanessa Boucicaut" It's our last year, so why should we start being "lazy?"
Despite all these differences in viewpoints, it still remains that senioritis is one of the main issues in high school, and this causes a lot of seniors to graduate late.
Jamaica High School students neglect to know that all the four years in high school do count. If you mess up during a semester or a school year, this will cause your Grade Point Average to decline.
Needless to say, some students started messing up since the first week of their freshmen year. They didn't know any better. They actually thought that they had so much time a head of them. Now that they're trying to graduate, they can't because of so many classes that they've to make up.

It's funny how students let gym mess them up. They loathe gym for some reasons. Most of seniors has to make up so many gyms, and during the school day, they're taking gym one after the other, 3 times a day. Regretfully, they've to watch their friends graduate before them, leaving them to graduate on a later time. They cry tears of regret. If only they could've done things over.
Most seniors should open their eyes to see things in a different perspective. They should already know that for every one of your actions, there are consequences that you'll have to come across.

Students should know that their failures in the beginning will come back to hunt them at the end, when trying to graduate, and this is the reason why they're now very busy with no time for themselves.
They should always think twice before they do something, and if you caused something take full responsibility for it! Not only seniors, but also freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, whom ever tells or influences you to cut class is not your friend! Keep that in mind.

you're talking about something in a present tense therefore in the lede you shouldnt write "should've been." not only that but your 2nd paragraph goes into present tense. but the article was good =)
The article was good. I agree with Cathy about the "tense" Stick with one!!!!
the article was good but your lead needs to be fixed.
very very good. informative and true. freshmen need to know from now that one or two classes can mess you up. few grammatical errors
Rebecca, interesting focus. Check some conventional details...
"said a senior student named Sekanderjit Kaur" could be "said senior (check for accurate name).
"perspection"
I liked the article. It's interesting how students are taking clases they don't need rather than what they do need.
