“Schools will track student performance on several metrics through an online database, created specifically for the program, and will reward them with cash every two weeks. Money will be deposited into student bank accounts.”Gone are the days that educators motivate students to learn for learning.
Gone are the days when community leaders encourage students to do their best in the classroom to be the best they can be.
Materialism has now reached another level and sadly, it’s happening inside classroom where learning to learn NO MORE. Now, it’s learning to earn.
There’s nothing wrong with earning while learning (OJT, etc.) but to attend school? To behave appropriately? To do homework? Com’mon?!
DCPS can call this program any names but in my book this is a plain and simple form of bribery. Sorry. B-R-I-B-E-R-Y.
The only difference is that the bribe is sponsored by taxpayers’ money.
