D. Scott Hughes, of Shreveport, is the executive director of the Alliance For Education. In the Times on Sun his article called "Achievement, attendance closely related," was a reminder to Magnet students about the background of their success. Magnet parents and students know that consistent attendance is directly related to academic prowess.
Please read the story.
Scott Hughes and the Alliance for Education are trying to take the message to those who have yet to get it.
Seniors are, in my opinion, in danger of misplacing that message. Does skipping school constitute one of the healthier aspects of the American Way for members of the senior class? I'd offer a guess that neither you nor America will be served by a lax attitude towards attendance.
In fact, for some of you, the senior year can offer a time for an upturn in academic performance. I detect that a lot of students in fine arts survey class have been lackluster students to this point. There's no need to accept being an average student as your fate. You've picked up a lot of insight during your years at Magnet in how to be an effective student. Why don't you make a mental challenge to get serious about schooling?
Maybe begin with trumping this week's assignments?
