Cash for Good Grades? C'mon...
Posted: 28 Aug 08 10:28 AM
From Rachel Coopers, About.com Guide to Washington D.C.

DC Schools Chancellor Michelle A. Rhee announced yesterday a plan to pay students up to $100 per month for displaying good behavior. According to the Washington Post, beginning in October, 3,000 students at 14 middle schools will be eligible to earn cash for attending class regularly and on time, turning in homework, displaying good manners and earning high grades. A maximum of $2.7 million has been set aside for this program.

--My immediate thought is, this is awful! What happens when this program ends? I can't imagine this could continue indefinitely... Is this 2.7 million coming from taxes?--

Anyone think its a good idea?? Maybe I am missing something here....
