Shoud Black Students Be Paid Study?
Two Georgia schools have decided to pay students struggling in math and science to attend study halls in order to have extra preparation on those subjects. The Harlem Children's Zone in New York City has already been paying students for perfect attendance and straight A's on report cards.
I have mixed feelings about paying students to study, but the educational system is failing so miserably that I can't blame school systems for taking desperate measures. What do you think? Should black students be paid to attend school or study halls? Should they be paid for achieving good grades?
What message does this trend of pay for study set? What will be the impact on students that are used to being paid to study when colleges do not embrace this practice?
