==A Citizenship Credit is when you report bad uses of words or suspicious behavior. Lying for points? The citizenship credit program would be useful in a way but would turn into a terrible idea. If this school had citizenship credits kids would take advantage and report things that are not true. A kid who thinks that they are better than everyone may think this, but a kid who has a nice heart wouldn't even bother to do that.  I believe that Bedminster School should not have a citizenship program. ==

==This idea sounds like a good way to spread rumors; kinda like the flu. Can you just imagine the amount of rumors going around? Some students do this because they do not understand what is happening. Others just want to be mean and selfish, by adding points to their grade. Say one kid has a B plus and wants an A they might just lie to get that extra point.  Doesn't that seem a little strange? You might think that all of them are telling the truth but some of them are lying. ==

At first this program might seem like the best thing in the world without bullying but, after a while the pile of papers and the amount of kids coming to your office is just simply annoying. Just to make all these punishments is a lot of work. The amount of punishments would be over whelming. Even to the kids who are not being called to the office.These kids are answering the phone and getting distracted when the principal walks into the room. ==

==Students would need to leave class a lot during the day. Teachers get mad when kids leave in the middle of a lesson. Kids would be distracted while listening in class. Say a kid has straight a's, but they keep getting called into the principle's office. The kids leaving miss critical learning time that can be on tests and quizzes. ==
