Demerit (school discipline)

A demerit is a point given to a student as a penalty for bad behavior.[1] Under this once common practice, a student is given a number of merits during the beginning of the school term and a certain number of merits are deducted for every infraction committed.[2]

Schools use the demerit record within a point-based system to punish misbehavior. After a certain number of demerits are accumulated, the student is given detention, loss of privileges (e.g., being denied field trips and participation in school events), or some other punishment[3][4] based on the seriousness and frequency of the infraction.[5]

One criticism of demerit systems is that they create bookkeeping problems and can result in students receiving severe punishments for minor infractions.[6] Another criticism is that older adolescents learn how to manipulate a demerit system.[7] There are also critics who cite that demerits wear parents down with constant parental meetings and leave students behind due to missed instructional time as a consequence of punishments such as detention and suspension.[8]
