Advice for Vipers

Advice for Vipers who complain too much

A column by emile babrauskaite

As a girl who is doing everything in her power to graduate because she has so little time left, I would like to say a few things to the students who are slacking.
When a teacher gives you an assignment, you don't have to do it. This is a free country, they can't make you do anything that you don't want to do. However, with no work comes no reward, and if you get mad at the teacher for not passing you when you sat and watched youtube videos all year, then you should know that the world is not your oyster. Your reward is a high school diploma, and you should appreciate and respect the people who help you work towards it, because they don't have to. A teacher can sit there and let you watch youtube videos all year, and will still get paid at the end of the month whether you are failing or not, however, they care enough to help and motivate you.
So the next time you want to whine about an assignment, just take the assignment as a suggestion. If you do it, you get your reward, but if you don't, then don't complain about failing because you didn't take the suggestion that was given. It's your choice.
