Unit 2.05 Should students be paid to do well in school? Can I have a volunteer to read the passage below?
In Professor Seemy’s classroom, Sekou reads aloud from a magazine article:
“Around the country, experts are undertaking the task of improving schools. To motivate students, some districts have implemented cash incentive programs.”
“So they’re paying kids for good grades?” asks Nicole. “Who provides the money?” Sekou continues. “Special programs with names like Spark and Capital Gains enable schools to pay students for good performance.”
