Blog 11
For this blog, we were supposed to blog about something we did last week. Rather, I would like to blog about why Stevenson punishes the Seniors for senior ditch day. Why? Why is it that seniors at Stevenson get punished while seniors at BG, Hersey, Palitine, Prospect, Niles, and other schools do not? I am very intrigued by this. Stevenson has a weird reputation. No snow days built into the curriculum and punishment for a day where no teacher really plans a lesson? Is it because Stevenson wants to keep up their reputation of being an excellent school? Or is it to appease the tax paying family members? I do not know, and since Stevenson does not give a good answer, I doubt we will ever find out! I would like to point out too that when I went into the deans office, there were two types of people in there. Asians, and Athletes. Athletes I understand why, but why Asians? Is it a stereotype that Asians are always at school because they are more intelligent? Or is it because Asian parents are strict and do not let their kids ditch school because they know the value of education? Stevenson is a weird place that I will never understand.

You are punished because you are breaking a rule... as to the Asian piece of it, I'm not sure, but it would make an interesting sociology study
