Some folks get upset when they think they deserve an I/A card and don't get one. The standard applied has been a little uneven because all the I/A teachers can hand out cards, and they have different standards, and/or different levels of resistance to "aww, please?!". As a guy having a card or not makes not a great deal of difference to me, but there's a significant difference for the girls between the I/A line and the "not I/A" line (as well as your standard ego issues).

I'm very glad that I am not involved in handing out the cards.
