I'm absolutely against this. All this will do is motivate students to cheat on a massive scale, and cheating is already rampant at every school I've ever gone to. Honest students like me will be duped.

This just trains them to be greedy capitalists and to cheat so they can get the most money.

It's Obama style collectivist socialism. Spreading the wealth? We need a pay czar. Lol. It's about responcibility. You should not be be paid to do what you should already be doing.

its a great idea. morality being a problem is stupid. people train animals AND train humans the SAME way already and it WORKS. its also good for struggling families. the fact is little children DO NOT care about their future when their young they only care about having fun! expecting children to act like adults is ridiculous because its against their nature. also the byprocess of getting good grades gives students the confidence when trouble dealing with education comes along latter in life.

by that time they should be mature enough to realize work illicits rewards. also proper moral education will keep children from becoming materialistic and they will be reasonable w/ what matters. careful precautions should be applied so as to not incit rebellion by holding it over the kids head and say "look what i got" children are not animals but deserve respect as adults deserve it, if not they will not respond to this new stimulus and rebel. the failure of current ed. systems and parents.

This idea is ridiculous. They already ARE being paid for getting good grades - they should think about it as investing in their futures.

UGH. What kind of monsters are we raising?

I can see the pros of this on one hand but I think for the long run it will hurt the kids. I am not in favor of this method.
