The Demerit/ Merit System Adult Point of View

I walk into school and I look at the clock it’s 8:21, I’m late. Sign my late slip and goes to get my bag check. I hear “let me see your collard, your good now hurry up to advisory”, Ms. Morson is checking for collards. I check to see if I have a collard, I’m good. She stops me “your late again that’s five demerits, let me see your collard, your good you can go” all right bye Ms. Morson. “Wait a minute is that a hole in your jeans, second violation ten demerits, that puts you on probation now you can’t go out for lunch”.
The Demerit Merit system was issued at constitution high school in September of 2008. The system monitors student’s behavior. Students can earn Merits by doing good random acts. Students can earn demerits by not following the rules. The rules include uniform, lateness, and behavior.

Why wait three years later to add in a conflicting system. “The first school year wasn’t bad without the system but the system is good and effective” says Ms. Klose the art teacher here at Constitution. And the second year was fine to without it. What did we do wrong that we needed an “objective system” says dean of students Ms. Morson. What is and “objective system” anyway?

The system came without warning the prior year with no other signs of a new system coming in effect. The Demerit/Merit system monitors students academically, behaviorally,and attendance wise. It was shocking to students to know that when they came back to Con High on September of 2008 they would have new rules to follow such as the Demerit Merit system." The system is effective but it is not perfect, more students are taking notice and are concerned about how many demerits and merits they have" says dean of students Ms. Morson.

3:24 I'm about to leave to go home and the teacher tells me to go see Ms. Morison. Nay I told you that if you come in late or do anything you were going to be on probation. Now, to get off probation you have to serve two 30 min. detentions at lunch. Now I don't want to see you come in late or out of uniform.
