It's a good way to raise money for the school, |
The school doesn't need money. The school is in the 2nd or 3rd most affluent zip code in the state. The auction was used as a way to ration the scarce resource.
Instead of, oh, I don't know.....highest GPA, student of the month, random lottery, "most improved athlete", any of a dozen or so other more relevant rationing methodologies.

Actually, the fact of the matter is that it's a public school, with responsibilities other than profiteering - or perpetuating the clique of rich kids' privilege, by adding another status symbol opportunity.
