good grades for America...

[my dog said quack]

A new bill might be passed in which students can earn money for good grades. what are your thoughts?

 

[asinann]

waste of money.

 

[Aura Guardian]

Sounds to good to be true. And an excuse for jocks to "befriend" nerds.

 

[black lincon]

It won't pass, no need for wondering what my thoughts are.

 

[clicketycrack]

I think its pretty fucking stupid. It destroys the idea that education is its own reward.

 

[TaborMallory]

Typical. Surely, the ones who get bad grades in the first place won't give a shit about learning, but only for the money. I hope this bill doesn't pass.

 

[ShadeOfRed]

Better not fucking pass. School is what you make of it. Getting paid to learn social skills, language skills and basic knowledge is NOT the way to go. Money runs too much already, we don't need it to be running basic human intelligence.

 

[ThePoodonkis]

Do you have a source, perchance?

 

[rockingnic]

A good part of students in America are in families that need money just to get by. So I think it's good so the students have money to help their parents out. It's also motivation to raise the average GPA of Americans. It has a good idea behind, I am a little skeptical though.

 

[my dog said quack]

I think its an excellent insentive for anyone to get good grades because your basically earning money for studying hard and doing a crapload of homework

 

[Pimppeter2]

Truth^

So none of you are dismissing this idea, but you are dismissing an improved healthcare system?

Don't give us this bull about socialized healthcare.
By now we should all know how bad that turned out.

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

I don't like this idea. I got nothing from my so called education (not even a job. Thank God I know people) and now all of a sudden you're going to get paid to do well... when you should do well just to do well. (Ahhhh! Lack of sleep destroys my ability to form even a basic thought)

Did you even fucking read the thread before posting? Almost everyone that posted before you said this idea was foolish.

 

[Turtleboy1017]

Stupid as fuck, for even if it does pass all it will do is to compel many to find new ways to cheat.

 

[G1eet]

As a good student, I hope to see this passed. But, morally and realistically, I hope not. I'd rather someone be able to feed their family than for me to upgrade my computer. Which brings me to the problem of welfare abuse, but I'm not touching that now.

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

I hope it passes.


No its not just because I'm in school right now!

 

[NeutralDrow]

That sounds extremely implausible, and utterly laughable.

So none of you are dismissing this idea, but you are dismissing an improved healthcare system?

...maybe someone could pay you to take reading comprehension? Just saying.

 

[Internet Kraken]

Honestly, I didn't. After having read the posts before mine, I see your point. I still find it valid however, as there were at least 2 condoning the idea.

Now I know that you jump to conclusions. You have lost all credibility in my eyes.

When this idea got proposed:

"AHA AHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOD THAT WAS HILARIOUS. No really what are we going to do about our poor education system."
