text: Students must earn the right to play sports and do other activities. They can't get a free pass out of jail. This isn't monopoly, this is life. When the students grow older, they have to earn everything they get. They don't get free money. They don't get a free house. They don't get a free car. Students should start to earn their way through life starting right now. If they don't start now, then they won't start later, and they'll have a miserable life.
