First time dress code, 5 demerits. Second time language 10 demerits. Did you touch her? Sexual assault 30 demerits and your parents will be called.
Con High in forced this system called the demerit/merit system. In which it started the year of 2008-09. It was issued to discipline the students.
Some students at Constitution High school like the demerit/merit system and others don’t. In which they want changes and others dont want to chage a thing.
Some students at Constitution High school actually like the demerit/merit system. They say they love it or it’s important to the school and its organized. Hassan Cooper, sophomore at Con High says, “ I really love it. It plays an important roll in our school.” He says this on the count that he gets more merits then demerits. When asked “ Do you think its fair and Why?” he told me “Yes, because I get merit points!” Students may say if he got demerits would he “love” the system so much?
Then theirs other students that attend Con High that disapproves of the system. Freshmen, John Nelson said. “I think its not working. Its not gone change anybody, they (students) are still going to do the same stuff.” When others say it’s a waste of time, students will still miss behave and it’s dumb. With or without the demerit/merit system the kids are gone to continue to talk back to the teachers or come in late etc. John Nelson also says on March 10, 2009, “I think its strict, Ms. Morison didn’t see me today, but I shouldn’t get 5 demerits for a little shavings”, so does the system work?
Changes! Yes, the (students) want changes. They want to get rid of the system, and others wouldn’t change any of the rules, such as the dress police, being on time and etc. Others say they don’t want the system because they get demerits for dumb stuff. Junior Anyea Jewett a student that attend Con High since day one says “No because I feel it’s a waste and so many people can have so many opportunities without them” when asked, “ Since your 3 years do you think we need the demerit/merit system?” when I asked her “would you get rid of the system?” she replied “Yes, because I feel its unfair and I don’t think students should get demerits for being late vs. heavier reasons. It’s still other ways to dealing with students that’s late then the demerit/merit system”.
When Constitution High school issued this thing called the demerit/merit system students didn’t like it and some did. Students wanted to keep it and others don’t. The question everybody is still asking is “Does the system work?”
