I think not!!!!! It seems the schools are struggling to have the materials the kids need $$$$$,I say "put the money to better use". For the schools to reward the kids to simply show up is a joke,and to pay $ them to do well is not in the schools best interest. It is up to the parents to motivate and provide incentives for thier kids. Are we then going to "buy them jobs" where they don't have to work? old saying "You can lead a pony to water, but you can''t make it float on its back" . So, paying them to do well accomplishes what? A better idea might be to pay the teachers better. ,
yes they should it will help them in all kinds of subject

Have you ever tried putting some red or green in the septic tank at home,try it,I did and it looks better then the next door neighbors,because I could buy more colors with an extra $1000.I've learned in life not to focus so much on my neighbors because you never know how people are getting things,and because my friends fail that don't mean I have to fall,thats why I stay focus and a positive mind in my own septic tank.
You can keep your own septic tank beautiful with $100.00 a month.lol also you can buy your child their own computer with $1000.00 for the next school year.lol

The water is always bluer in someone else's septic tank. The public education system is just like a bank account - you get out just what you put in with interest. Sometimes when we cash our "reality check", it is disappointing and frustrating and we want to blame someone else for the shortfall. It is easy to point the finger at the education system and blame it for all of OUR failures. And as Americans, when one of us fail, we ALL fail and right now WE are ALL failing because our public education system needs help. It does not need more money thrown at the problem. I too am appalled that every student does not have a text book for every class. But every student does not have a computer and a few other necessity items that we would like to see them use in the classrooms. What I do see that most of the students have is a super duper, whammy dine - (my phrase for out of this world), multiple function cellular phone that cost more than a mere text book and most desk top computers nowadays. Maybe our students can live with an older cell phone if they MUST have one at all and us parents can donate the extra money saved from the "super whammy dines" to help buy a text books for those who are less fortunate. And yes, I know not all students have cell phones; I sure would like to meet the ones that don't as they are certainly an oddity among us.
