What are the signs that I (or my kid) has senioritis?

If your once-dedicated student suddenly treats school like it’s optional, senioritis might have made itself at home. Signs include missing assignments, suddenly “forgetting” about tests, constantly checking the clock in class, or answering every school-related question with “It doesn’t matter anymore.” You might also notice a magical ability to binge-watch shows while completely ignoring their homework pile. It’s like watching a motivational balloon slowly deflate. The key is spotting the shift early and gently nudging them back on track. Senior year is the final lap, and even if the finish line is in sight, you still need to keep your sneakers tied and your pace steady.
