Honor or waste of money???

[Whitney in KY]

My son received an invitation to the "National Society of High School Scholars" and I was wondering if this was a gimmick to get money or is it something I should spend the money on?

I was told by the National Honor Society coordinator at the ps that this was a waste. My dd made the National Honor Society in ps, and there was more to it than just getting good grades and paying a fee. She had to log in community service hours, attend meetings & ceremony, do volunteer work at the school (which wasn't mandatory, but helpful), and show that you were a well-rounded student.

I remember reading somewhere that this was a scam. I'll have to hunt up the resource (it was reliable) but that the *fee based* National Honor Society has no real connection with the *real* NHS.

 

I'd just save my money if I were you. :thumbdown:

I just had to mention that the National Honor Society is not open to homeschoolers. So, I tend to take everything they say about other organizations with a grain of salt.
