tr115 Citizenship+Credits

= =
 * Dear Mr.Swan, **

**Bedminster School like many schools is trying to get Citizenship Credits. This is were you can redeem grade points by two points on your report card. In effort to reducing bullying and violence at school. Some schools have offered "Citizenship Credits" to students who provide information like little spies to the principle if any classmate breaks a rule, displays inappropriate behavior, or use Language. Well I believe that Bedminster School should not adopt Citizenship Credits.**


 * You might lose a friendship. Wouldn't you hate it if your friend got mad at you for telling on them? Would a student lose your best friend to a few points on your average? Is it worth it? For one fact I would never just lose my best friend to a few points I wouldn't earn on my own on my average even if I was going to fail, but some people may not care is there best friends hate them. Which leads me to my next reason. **

**Some people may think more about the credits than actual school. If your trying to lose point yeah don't listen to the teacher just try and find people doing things wrong. I don't think those few extra point will help you get A+'s do you? If you don't listen to your teachers you won't learn anything, but if you wanna live on the streets for the rest of your life go ahead. So, really how will these credits really help you in life if you learn nothing; you won't be ready for the big bad world will the student?**

**Lastly the things you think are credits for you are actually misconceptions. Did you ever wounder that? For example if someone just walked up to someone and was talking to them and there like oh stop and gave them a nudge in the shoulder. That would be totally different then actually punching and kicking them on purpose,but some people may think its the same scenario. You never know someone could be joking around or not.**

**Even though some people actually like the credits, I don't really like the credits and hope we don't get them in our school. Extra credits would be nice to have, but we would never actually learn from it because the points won't be saying what we are learning, all it would be really saying is oh this person is good at spying. Would you like to get your points from learning or points from telling on people? It's your choice make the right discussion.**
 * I believe that Bedminster School should not adopt Citizenship Credits. **
