J_Darrowin's Newsroom

A couple of days ago, while listening to the morning news on the radio, I heard a story about a school in Fulton County, Ga., that was part of a pilot program that offered paychecks to some low-income students for attending an after school program two days a week.  The students received up to $8.00 an hour for doing their schoolwork. 

The program, called "Learn to Earn", is being tested at  Creekside High School, using cash as an incentive to get students to come in and learn.   It is being headed by Jackie Cushman, the daughter of Newt Gingrich. 

Wanting to do a poll, but unable to form a proper one at these boards, I've set one up at the following link here.  I've also posted more of the story at the link as well.

Have a look, if you're so inclined, and tell me what you think of this program!
