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?
