Rant of the day #1

Is it just me or does anyone else understand why you have to pay to get into Honor Society? We work all year to get good grades and keep up a good GPA and then we have to pay 25 dollars to be recognized for it? No, that's a bunch of bull crap. You want to be recognized by awesome colleges and eligible for more scholarships? All right, I want this much money for it. Does that even make sense? This is just one of the stupid ways a program tries to trick people into paying for something that they shouldn't have to pay for. Honor Society should be free. If you earn good grades and have a 90% attendance rate with little to no disciplinary/criminal background, you shouldn't have to pay money to be recognized for that. This is probably WHY a lot of kids don't feel the need to try, because it's just a bunch of crap. Some children don't have money! So if they don't have money you wont let them be in a club that could benefit their future for college applications and jobs dramatically? If they are financially unstable then they cannot be acknowledged for the hard work they put themselves through to try and make a better future. That is one of the stupidest things I've ever even heard in my life. It's an honor to be apart of the club; don't get me wrong, but if you are going to make your students pay to be appreciated by others for their hard work, then you need to rethink what goals you are trying to teach your youth. What I'm seeing is whether you do nothing in school or do everything, you have to pay money to even have someone important cognize your achievements. Rant is now accomplished.
