How did you feel when Ms. Moore said you could buy your grades? Do you think school's should sell grades, why/not? In what ways did this activity parallel the Church's sale of indulgences?

I would have to say I felt surprised. I never heard of such a method. In my opinion, schools should not sell grades, and if they did, they should make it cost much more than 1000 dinars. Schools should not do this because this makes a dumb kid get good grades as easy as telling a lie. The kids do not learn by doing this, they are just buying their way through school, and that is not the purpose of school. This activity matched exactly the medieval church's indulgences sale. The clergy in the churches had worked there not to worship and honor as a servant of god, but rather so they can live in luxury. This system made people give money to them. The churches even charged money to see holy relics (which were not real, of course), and this got the church so much money, the pope got to live in such grand palaces and jewel robes. Palaces such as the Vatican shows how grand a pope lives. The Indulgences in ISB really did reflect what the churches were doing. It made me want to do it, and this means the church indulgences convinced people to believe it and to give up their money.
