For ‘A’ Students in Some Brooklyn Schools, a Cellphone and 130 Free Minutes – New York Times
Last year New York City announced that it would begin paying students for attending school, taking standardized tests and getting good grades. In spite of criticism – Barry Schwartz said the external rewards would not replace showing kids why it's good to do well in school – and no known lack of results, New York City has decided to push forward with a new reward plan. New York City school kids that get good grades can now earn cell phones and free minutes.
I wonder why they didn't say how the first program, paying for attendance and grades, was working?
