This "trick" is parallel to the corrupted church because they are both selling advantages to people who can afford it thus increasing their wealth, and the customers power.

The Sale of Grade Points
When Mrs. Moore presented us with the ISB indulgences I was exited about it because I thought that you could use it to partially improve a score. However, When she told us it could raise entire points, as well as on the final exams, and that it cost 1,000 rsd per ticket; I started to question it. First, I started to believe that it was fake because of the high price, and ability to fix mid-terms. I also stated to think that it would be an unfair advantage to the richer students, because they could have the best grades, and do none of the work. I believe that the school could sell indulgences, but not to gain whole grade points. I believe that if you have a good excuse for not doing a minor piece of homework such a worksheet, you should be able to get out of it; but, you would be given a small amount of purchases. Furthermore, I do not believe that you should be allowed to buy whole grade points, as many times as you want because of two reasons. The first reason is, that rich people would have an unfair advantage. For example, if one student has better grades based on their work, then it would not be fair for an underachiever to be able to buy a higher grade than the hard worker. Also, it would be like robing the students family, as well as allowing them to not do their work, and this would catch up with them in the future.
