Well put, so sadly true - and it takes away a spot from a less wealthy child who did the work to earn it - I also like the part about the cookie jar-

Recently there was a scandal at the Russian television contest the Voice for children. The parents of one of the contestants bought her the phone voting. Sometimes parental love does strange things.

When I heard about the cheating the first time, I thought that cannot be true--not in the USA..not the elite schools. So sad, but it is true! Your poem is apt for the theme, Kim. You said it well!
