Senior slide is when students stop trying and caring about school when they get accepted to their college. In the mind of a senior once you get accepted to college you are set. School does not matter anymore, because you already got in. The quality of homework, tests, and their attention span starts to spiral down.
Seniors love the idea of not having to care about doing well in school, but senior slide is not recommended by teachers. The fact is, if students’ grades start to go down and their performance weakens, a college can decline a student’s acceptance. Seniors need to keep their grades up and finish high school strong. This year’s senior class consists of 59 students, and the class is very good about their high school performance.
Stephanie Thomson, a senior at Newman Catholic, shares her feelings on senior slide. “I feel like I would enjoy senior slide, but since I have to prepare for my AP tests I do not have the ability to take part in a senior slide.”
Every student likes the idea of not having to worry about how well they do in high school after a college acceptance, but the reality is that school is important and students always need to do their best.
