A student’s performance in school has to be one of the most essential aspects of high school since it not only determines your future but also your success. Some might think that the weekend is the perfect amount of time to relax; however, most students are still doing school work, and they don’t have enough time for themselves.

When students are taken out of school for a couple of days they miss assignments and do not take responsibility for their conduct.
