In this week's blog, I want to say how I feel about out senior year and the plans that are being destroyed. We were planning to have our senior trip to King's Dominion, Virginia, but because of the behavior of some people we can't go anywhere. At times we can be a little playful, but who isn't? But for them to take away our senior trip, that is just wrong. Germantown, King, and Gratz have school trips, but the Philadelphia Military Academy doesn't. I'm not taking anything away from those schools, but our academics and behavior are definitely way better than theirs.
Another problem that I have is that our senior prom is over at 11:00 pm. That is when the party is supposed to be getting started; I don't think that is anything we did, but the teachers not wanting to stay out late. Jamz, a teenage night club, is over at 11:30 pm, and we are 17 and 18 years old young adults and we cant stay at our prom past 11:00. They tried to use the curfew excuse, but we are all 17 and older, so there is no reason why the time should not be extended.
The last thing that I have a problem with is the fact that we graduate the day before school gets out. As I was talking around the city I found out that some schools graduate one and two weeks before school gets out. That is totally unfair, as seniors graduating you should be out of school at least the last week, but not at the Academy, we MUST stay in school.
