Juniors and seniors, relieved to finally be the upperclassman even if this means struggling with college decisions, and fluctuating between wanting college now and wanting high school forever. However, beyond these constraints these two groups differ on an inexplicably massive scale. Seniors tend to be on average anywhere from a whopping 2-10 months older than a junior, thus making their brain waves and streams of consciousness incompatible in every way with that of a subhuman, or a junior. Subhumans don’t have the months and months of experience rife with knowledge needed to maintain the social influence and importance a senior is solely responsible for. The subhumans have almost mastered the art of walking and talking, but their abilities won’t be in full capacity until they themselves are a senior. Until then according to Kohlberg's stages of moral development the subhuman is essentially considered to be an entirely different species from the almighty one, the senior. The problem? The inevitable fate of the subhumans and the almighty ones having to work in harmony in order to keep the school functioning sufficiently. The solution? Teach the subhumans the proper morning, midday, and nighttime rituals they are to preform to not only worship the the almighty ones at their feet, but also show them the upmost respect that they deserve for their additional months of life. If a subhuman is to see an almighty one in the hallway during one of these windows of time they are to fall to their knees paying their respects to the kings and queens of the future. Furthermore, if any subhuman tries to rebel against the almighty ones the senior has the authority to immediately terminate the subhuman’s life. Additionally, they are to show no remorse which surprisingly hasn’t been deemed a hard adjustment for the almighty ones. What this relationship basically comes down to is respect. Respect for your elders. Respect for the people who have worked so hard for everything in their life. Respect for the ones who carry themselves everyday with grace and honor. But, most of all the almighty one deserves the subhuman’s respect because no matter what happens the almighty ones will be the responsible leader, and the subhuman will always be the immature and inexperienced creature that can’t be kept under control. So, unfortunately preforming the rituals is the only feasible solution because otherwise the juniors, the subhumans, the rude immature brats if you will might begin to think they deserve respect too, but we all know that proposal is utterly preposterous.
