H1N1 and other communicable diseases pale in comparison to the dreaded “senioritis.” Senioritis is commonly known as an illness that strikes in high percentages among high school seniors causing decreased motivation and chronic procrastination. One of the most notable symptoms of senioritis is that all attempts by teachers to curb this illness tends to actually increase the symptoms. High school administrators and teachers all across the country are beginning to prepare for the spread of this unavoidable illness. It usually becomes evident in the early spring around the time of spring break and peaks in late May some time immediately following graduation ceremonies. It is highly contagious and has even been reported to spread among educators and school officials. All steps will be taken to quarantine those infected and protect those left to complete the school year.
