fm215+Citizenship+Credits

Dear Mr. Swan, 2/20/13
==I believe that Citizenship Credits policy is not right for Bedminster Township School. Do you think Citizenship Credits would influence Bedminster School? Do you think students will behave more? Well according to the Citizenship Credit they will, but I disagree because what if the students take advantage of this? Well we are about to find out what might happen if they put this rule.==

==My first reason was what if the students might misconceive it, but later the person might report it by accident. If Natalia saw another student slam another kid against the lockers and Natalia had reported it, but the two students were just playing around.Suppose a student patted her friend in the back really hard to the point the other student does it back and a student thinks their fighting and reports it to a teacher or a principal, but it was all a misunderstanding.For example, a student says shut up to another kid to goof around, but another person sees it and they had misunderstood it and reported it. Do you think students will like these credits?==

==Do you think students can just lie just to get more points and not get caught? Suppose a student had a really low grade in school and they wanted extra points so what they they did was reported some random incident just to get more points.What if a student wanted to get revenge on that person that they really hate so what they did was tell on that person just to get points? For example, a student really disliked people and he just kept making up rumors about other people and that person told a teacher and they got a bunch of points. Do you see how students can lie to get more points?==

==Will some students feel guilty about them telling on their best friends or just friends? Suppose you see a friend doing something really bad like smoking under 21 and you really want to tell a teacher that is in the building that your friend is smoking, but you are scared that your friend will hate you and never talk to you.== ==If you see your best friend bullying someone and you have told the teacher that they were doing this and your friend has no clue that you told. Wouldn't that make you feel guilty? When you see a friend making fun of a little kid and you told. Can you see how guilty she or he may feel telling on their friend?==

==Even though this policy might be good for Bedminster Township School, but I think school wouldn't work out well for the principal because he wouldn't like it getting reports everyday wouldn't he? But my point is that it wouldn't be nice to have Citizenship Credits.==
