hk115+Citizenship+Credits

==There are many schools in the U.S. that do citizenship credits. Last year there were a bunch of Hib reports going around, and it was just to much to handle. Citizenship credits is when a student could get more points on their average for reporting bullying that has been going around. I feel that will be very good for our school for three reasons. The principal could catch and stop bullying easier, there would not be a truckload of HIB reports coming in, and there will not be any names said that could actually lead to more bullying. Wouldn't you want to prevent these three things? I believe that our school should do Citizenship credits for these three very important reasons.==

==One reason is bullying going around that the principal doesn't know about. For example, if there is a 6th grader bullying another 6th grader, that 6th grader might be afraid to tell someone. Other people will not have to find out and also start bullying you. As well as that parents could feel a lot safer knowing that the principal is handling all of the bullying. If there is bullying going around that the principal doesn't know about, this could be a for him/her to find out!==

==With the Citizenship credits policy, the principal could eliminate HIB reports(Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying). HIB was just getting really bad. It was getting to the point where people were just accusing and Hibbing people for no reason! Also, the principal won't have to organize millions files and HIB reports. Honestly, do really want to do that again? You might think that the cops coming in is not a big deal, but that just means how serious bullying is.==

==The most serious problem is the names of reporters being revealed. With no names being said more people will report bullying. Also, kids will feel safer reporting bullying knowing that their names will not be said. One example is parents approving their child's name being said. Honestly, knowing that a witnesses name will be revealed scares me to think that more bullying could happen.==

==Even though Citizenship Credits could cause false reports, they can also help stop bullying if the reports are true. There can be no bullying going around but rather keep it like that than start it. Is it really worth it to have to deal with all these files and HIB reports? For the sake of our school, stop doing HIB reports, stop saying names and just make it easier for the students and start doing Citizenship credits.==
