Mf115+Citizenship+Credits

Dear Mr.Swan, Never gona happen.

Citizen credits should not be allowed in Bedminster School. Citizen credits are the privilege to earn extra points on your report card if you report something bad happening at school. I think they should not be allowed for many reasons, including misconceptions, being called a snitch , and people faking it. Many of those reasons explain my opinion on why Bedminster S chool should not have citizen credits and hopefully will never have them.

Citizen credits should not be allowed in Bedminster School because there might be too many misconceptions. A misconceptions is like an accident or a mistake. What if while walking through the hallway you pat a friend on the back, and someone said you hit your friend? Then what do you think would happen? At first it might work but I don't think after a wile. Say someone had an inside joke, such as my friends Annie, Kate, and Joie, and the joke looked like they are fighting, but someone might not know that. How would you feel getting blamed for having a joke? Would it be fair to get a point for having a joke with your friends?

Secondly, people can fake it or make up a big story just to get a point. Then how do you know who told the truth? Also, what if people got together and planned something big just to give there friend the point. For example, I could tell the principal that I saw a fight in the hallway. I could be exaggerating or lying about what I had seen. Its possible that kids will be honest but knowing are school I doubt it. So faking it could be possibly known as just exaggerating, not lying.

Lastly, people might be called a snitch for telling. A snitch is someone who tells too much. You might think some one wouldn't tell but i bet they will. A friend could blame someone for something they did not do. What if a girl named Morgan, saw Alex and Jojo fighting and she told to principal about it because Alex was her friend. When Jojo found out she was very upset and called Morgan a snitch but Morgan was just doing what her teachers said to do to earn points. Would that be a good way to earn points?

So why would we have citizen credits? Congratulations, Mr.Principal, you gave us more bullies, less work, and a heap of lies. Is that what you want to be hearing in an email from a parent? So why are you even thinking this idea? However, I can understand that students might want this policy because their grades are low, or because they are bullied and would feel more comfortable with more people watching. Want to solve your bad grades? Try studying!! To solve being bullied, stay away from that kid or tell an adult or even tell a friend that someone's being mean and they will stay with you at lunch or throughout the day. So really lets face it its never gona happen. In my opinion, Citizenship Credits should not be allowed at Bedminster School.

Thanks Sincerely,Molly
