Activity: Slug Club Discussion: Criteria for Slug Club Good or Bad?
Points: Long debate: Participation 10pts, Additional comment: 2pts
Deadline: Saturday, April 11 @ 11:59 PM EST.
Details: We all know how Slughorn chooses the members of his club. Now we face an interesting dilemma: some people think this is terribly selective. Some people think this is a good thing. This is not a debate. This is a discussion on what everyone thinks about Slughorn's criteria, and if there is anything you would personally do differently while keeping the ultimate goals of giving the Slug Clubbers' decent job prospects intact.
CLUB LEADER NOTE: Since I feel it needs to be said in light of some of the bollocks going on in other posts, if you cannot discuss something without getting your feelings hurt, this is probably NOT the activity for you. That said, do not personally attack anyone else for their opinions. We all have them, we are all entitled to them. I'll be watching the post and making sure things don't get out of hand.
Interested in social networking? Join the Slug Club today!

Of course, this goes back to Ron's feelings of inadequacy already (sixth of seven children, youngest boy, everything's been done) and his inherent lack of extraordinariness. I will agree he's good at chess, but that alone isn't enough. He doesn't seem to have the ability to transfer that strategy into real life, which in my opinion, would have made him a much more likely candidate for entry into the Slug Club.
