NEWS: Panic goes off By: Ricardo Osuna Sixth semester students are feeling very stressed this last days of school. This is a very common aspect because last semester students can’t fail any classes, because if they do they will not have the privilege of graduating. Many students are capable of passing every single class every semester, but there are many that are the exact opposite. Some of them fail classes during their first years at school, and they wait until the last semester to revalidate them, being this a very bad error. There is a total of 11 subjects on a sixth semester student’s schedule. Some subjects like Redaction or Human Development are some very easy subjects. But, there’s always a bad side. Here is a graph with the most difficult subjects according to students. Alan Miguel, a sixth semester student, stated: “If I don’t pass this period’s Chemistry exam, I won’t be able to graduate, and my parents will be very mad. They might even make me repeat my whole year of High School.” On the other side, María Mercedes says: “This is going to be my best semester at High School. I never imagined I could reach this kind of grades.” If this continues, some students might have to repeat a year at high school. This can affect their future in a very bad way, making their curriculum look pretty bad. This is a very hard time on anybody’s life, so let’s help these student’s that are in the warning zone.
