jw115+Citizenship+Credits

= Dear Mr. Swan =

==In the school, a new policy that you, Mr. Swan, released is now known throughout the hallways and in the classrooms. It's about reporting other fellow students for credits, which can get you a point or two on a grade in your average. But, there are disadvantages that this new policy could bring. Myself and other guys and gals in this classroom decided that this event can't really be a good one. So, I believe that the Citizenship Credits policy isn't the best idea for the school.==

==Our first thing that could result in a disaster is that kids could make up rumors to get others in trouble. For example, a person could make something up to get another person don't like in trouble. Even a student could make up a rumor that a fellow classmate did wrongdoing to get points. And, if Gavin, for example, did something terrible to me, Gavin might get reported for revenge. Students wouldn't really trust others, and even friends themselves. Even though at first, kids would walk the halls doing the right thing, but soon they'll get desperate and lie just to make that Honor Role.==

==The next thing these smart pupils can do is make this into a blackmail system. A student can threaten another person to do what they want, or he can report that person who isn't doing his bidding. And, fellow classmates may not want to go to school because other enemies, frenemies, or even acquaintances dislike them and might want to report them somehow. Last, kids can get overwhelmed with the problem that doing one little thing can get them into trouble. This act might really affect their feelings, and they won't want to go to school, knowing that every day could be a terrible one. You might think that each and every one of them will cooperate with each other, but students could soon take the advantage to make others do what they want to do.==

==Last, the policy give students a high way of authority. Sam, for example, can overuse this new policy and get a lot of possibly innocent classmates in trouble. Or, friends of Sam wouldn't respect or like him anymore because he was overusing this policy. Even reporting many people could get points to Sam, and maybe giving him grades that he really does not deserve. It would affect the students with their grades and their feelings for others. While it's true that everyone could be using this, one single person could be using the system daily every ten minutes.==

==These reasons give why you should not be able to use this policy in the school. Many other reasons are out in this world, but the reasons above are the things I chose and are the most informative to you. It's possible that this policy could work out just fine, but more likely you'll be caught and thrown in detention for making the wrong decision, or maybe you didn't even do anything! As I said, the Citizenship Credits policy isn't the best idea for the school. It would likely cause more bullying and catastrophes! It would make the decision of people over points, and no one would want that.==
