Ours is ridiculous and allows church activity in general (“actively involved in youth group”) to count towards needed points… Ummm…some kids don’t go to church! I think our whole NHS is a total sham anyway. It made me ill seeing kids who I know for a fact had been caught cheating (it was a homework assignment but still) smiling and receiving their “honor” society certificate. The principle barely uttered 2 minutes worth of a speech and then the names were called off in lightning speed and pretty much everyone went home. Ugh. So much for praising all the hard work these kids put out and so much for all the kids who didn’t have enough points to get in even though they were invited to apply.
