Georgia Schools to Pay Kids to Learn
Posted by Dave Blount at January 24, 2008 9:08 AM
A high school and middle school in Georgia will pay students $8 an hour to attend after-school tutoring programs.
With the support of Fulton County Commissioner Robb Pitts, the pilot program will last 15 weeks and pay students for participation and performance. The object of the program is to determine if paying students to study will improve classroom attendance, grades and test scores, according to a news release from the district.
If educrats manage to convince themselves that their program is successful, we'll be on our way to kindergartners collecting minimum wage. Once the government has taken all our money to finance this sort of lunacy, it can just print some more.
