I really don’t think kids should be paid to do their homework/go to class. That’s their ONLY job at that age aside from fairly simple household chores. I don’t like the idea of bribing them to do their required duty. On the other hand, with USA so behind in the “international race for student excellence,” i can see people feeling that we should do anything that works/helps. But, IMO, this is not teaching kids good values. They should want to study for the sake of studying and learning new things, not because they are being paid to do it. What happens when they go to college and aren’t being paid anymore?
