The CBS Early Show 12/2 did a segment on a school in Hartford CT. They are
rewarding with money, boats, and cars, students who achieve perfect
attendance. Wow. It takes all that to get kids to go to school these days?
Soon they won't know if they are at school or on Wheel of Fortune.

Unfortunately, yeah, it does take that in some places since these kids
are seeing other kids and young adults dropping out and dealing drugs
and such getting cars and cash to burn. It's not about a love of
learning or even "a good education", it's about putting in the time
until it's 'official' so the drop out rates will improve.
