Why do people put those "My child is an honor student at ________" stickers on their cars?

Question

dont they realize that 1) making the honor role is not a difficult acheivment at all and 2) it makes their minivan look even more retarded?

Answer 1

Yes, it does. I still like the sticker "My kid can beat up your honor roll student"

Answer 2

I guess to make thier child feel like they are something good, but Im with u its stupid and they look dumb. But if my kid was all excited that he made the honor roll and gave me the sticker to put on my car. I would, just in hopes it makes him feel better and want to do a lil better in school.

Answer 3

If they don't the child asks, "Why didn't you?" what do you say?

Worse to me are the figures depicting the various members of the family WITH THE NAMES ON THEM. This seems like an invitation to molesters giving them this kind of information.

Answer 4

On my survey, I would definitely put you in the 'does not approve' category for bumper stickers which read: "My child was accepted at Harvard Law School."

Answer 5

Guess they didnt make the honor roll themselves

Answer 6

When I was wrestling in high school, I remember one of my coaches with a bumper sticker that said, "MY KID PINNED YOUR HONOR STUDENT."

Answer 7

They have the IQ of a grapefruit.

A better bumper sticker is "Keep honking, I'm reloading"

Answer 8

I HATE those dang things. It's like: NAW-NEE, NAW-NEE, NAAAAW-NEE, my kid's smarter than YOUR kid. (using the same tune as "Johnny has a girlfriend") remember that?

The parents act like the kids do with this crap.

Answer 9

Maybe they happen to be proud of their kid? And making the honor role is an accomplishment so why not brag about it? (What do you care anyway?)

Answer 10

so you can complain about it. It is not as bad as my child had lunch with the principal
