The Front Porch

[Anistorm]

We have finals on the last three days of school  (there goes the fun about the last day of school)

I have finals on the very last day of school, this is their way to make sure everyone comes to school on the last day.

Yeah, I have the exact same problem. I was told, however, that it was because the state of Michigan does not allow students to have a day to do nothing. They don't allow us to have an hou during each school day where there is nothing scheduled. I have a gosh darn book report for econ due (that I am putting off  ) on June 2nd. I have exams (over material learned since 2nd semester began in late January) in Chemistry and English 10 on June 3rd. I then have exams over Algebra and then 6th Hour (Academic Lab- A break from the exams  ). On the final day, Friday June 5th, I have a half day. There is a major problem there, since the school crams in two exams in 3.5 hours. For me, it is Digital Design (I hate that class  ) and Econ. Believe it or not, TWC's graphics and the old, much better look of Intellistar are not the only reason I want to go back to the 'olden daze'! 

I used to have the same routine in my high school years...and yet I have finals on my last two days of the semester!

Here, finals last four days, then after that is the last day when we do basically nothing, so I don't bring anything with me that day. In fact, three of my eight classes don't have exams, so I probably won't be doing anything for four straight hours on June 11, and the last half of June 16.

Ok, so I'm familiar with 1080i and 720p, but what are the native resolutions for each?

In my school, you don't have to take an exam if you have a 92.5 or above avg for the year or if you have As all 4 marking periods.

That only applies to seniors here.

You're all lucky!  In my high school days when semester finals were first introduced, everyone took them regardless of if you were a senior or what grades you earned.  They did change the policy after I graduated to these new rules:  You can earn an exemption from a class's semester final if you have an overall C or better and no more than 3 absences for that semester, but honors and AP classes don't allow exemptions.  Furthermore, even if you earn an exemption from every class on your schedule, you must choose one class to take a final.  So, everyone still has to take at least one final exam every semester.

Here in the IV,  EVERYONE takes finals. Even if you're a senior, even if you have A's, even if you have 3 or less absences, even if you have AP classes. You take a final no matter what. That's it. No exceptions whatsoever.
