Maintaining Your Focus

There have been a few comments related to class behavior and student focus, and I just posted the following comment on the P8 Blog. Please read it and take it to heart:

I'll toss another comment in that applies to all students (not just mine), in all classes - if you plan on heading off to a challenging school after you graduate from MHS, remember - it will require all the energy and focus you can muster. Getting IN to a college is the easy part, staying in, doing well, and graduating is the difficult part.
Graduation rates for a bachelor's degree vary from about 1/3 to about 2/3, depending on the state. And that's a six-year rate - that fraction finish a four year degree in six years.
Right now would be a great time for all students in all of their classes to get over the myth of "Senioritis" and focus on the upcoming mid-term and second semester, so you can finish your MHS career strong, and hit the ground running when you head off to college in August.
