Merchants in some towns offer discounts to honor students from the local high school (not to students who may excel in other areas, like sports). Argue against this somewhat controversial policy.

Arguments: - Unfair some kids just can't excel in school - Some kids are easier to teach than others - Kids with learning disabilities are at a disadvantage - Just because they’re on the honor role doesn’t mean they are smarter, just better at memorizing - Some people excel in certain subjects and not others - Should be discounts for all students not just honor role - Students should be rewarded for working hard in areas outside of school even if they don’t make the honor role - Since some students aren’t capable of making the honor role so giving a discount isn’t motivating them it’s just teasing them - Some students have the advantage of having tutors while others might not which would also make it unfair
