<p>My schedule is about the average schedule for the top 30% of seniosr in my school (course-load wise). We all have alot of sturggles keeping up with all the work and paying attention. When you add in EC’s and homework we are lucky to be in bed by 11pm every single school night starting from September through June. Some teachers have started to recognize how ridiulous the standards are now and do give us breaks during class and try to make it more participatory, but I also have classs where teachers will literally leacture for all 80 minutes. </p>
