Public School Failure: Students To Be Paid $8.00/hr for “Learn & Earn” program

It’s a study. And here is what they are trying to determine:

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

I think this comment to the article best sums up this study:

This is simply introducing government entitlement programs at an earlier age hidden under some initial private funding – enjoy!

Lacking initiative to work hard and better yourself? The govt will pay you to go to class.

Lacking motivation to get a job? The govt will provide welfare.

Lacking an interest in taking care of your babies? The govt will provide childcare.

Rather spend money on cell phones than healthcare insurance? The govt will provide healthcare.

Enjoy doing crack cocaine? The govt will reduce penalties.

Ain’t life grand?
