A new system was put into action here at Coastal Leadership Academy a few days ago, called the archer system. The archer system is suppose to give each student 50 archer points to start out with. Every time a student commits an act of insubordination, dishonesty, misuse of technology, or any other rule violation archer points will be taken from them. At the end of every quarter there is suppose to be an archer day, which is a party that all students who have above a certain amount of archer points, can attend. Every quarter the amount of archer points needed to attend the party will drop by a few, thus allowing those who may have lost a few points can still attend the party. Now in my opinion this can be both a good and bad thing. The good would have to be that most students should take this seriously and try to follow the rules as best as possible. The bad thing is that not all students will care about this and it will most likely not affect them at all.

Since this has been in affect I, fortunately, have not lost any archer points, but I do know that some of my friends have lost a few archer points. Unfortunately, the archer points, even though there in a test run right now, will not reset after the quarter or the semester, so they will not reset at all in the school year. You will start out the year with 50 archer points and if you lose any there is no way to get them back. What I don't understand is why the majority of people are getting upset with this. I mean really, you shouldn't be defying your authority in the first place. That is pretty much all I have to say.  Honestly I really think that this archer points are a really good idea.
