[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 871391, member: 1246"] Welfare in training?? I heard a news story this morning about a problem of truancy in New Jersey schools. Apparently, there's some grant money for addressing this problem. Use it or lose it. I don't know who decided this, but they found out that the most truancy seems to occur in the first few weeks of the start of the school year. So, they are offering the 'sweathogs' each $100 if they attend the first 6 weeks of school. It's the idea that a good habit can be formed in just 21 days. I have 2 major problems with this: 1. The good students who attend school all the time get nothing. Bassackwards thinking by somebody! 2. If you are a student, attending to get your $100, you are learning that you can just sit there and get paid............this might translate to adulthood with them thinking.....what else can I be paid for for doing nothing?
