WASHINGTON (Map, News) - D.C. Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee has announced a plan to pay students at 14 middle schools for doing well in class. Students will have the chance to earn up to $100 every two weeks, based on factors such as attendance, behavior and academic performance. The cost of the $2.7 million "Capital Gains" program announced Thursday will be split between D.C. and Harvard University, which created the program. Harvard also has partnered with public schools in New York and Chicago. Rhee says middle school is generally an important, but difficult, time for students and the money will give them an incentive succeed. The 14 schools for the program have yet to be selected.

Screw you tax payers, more money down the drain.

Fuckers. This is outlandish. Doesn't matter though, their parents will probably steal the money to buy more crack/needles/guns, etc.

Insanity huh? I am outraged. When will this crap stop? Honestly? It is a "right" huh? Wait until those kids start buying bags of weed off each other, giving money to their dope parents etc.

A free public education isn't enough, they need more than that.hno:

No, it's not a "right". It is simply the locals in tandem with Harvard University agreeing to smartly channel their money into motivating steady attendance, cooperative behavior and strong academic performance.

Students will have the chance to earn up to $100 every two weeks, based on factors such as attendance, behavior and academic performance.

If teenagers will reliably show up, present no discipline problems and also do well academically, I personally don't care what they do with their two bills a month.

The only people who have any standing to complain here are DC taxpayers and those who contribute money to Harvard.

If you happen to be one of the former group, then you should immediately become engaged in school board meetings and register your discontent. In that case, let us know how it's going.

 

[C-Gold]

If DC is so smart, then why don't you donate your money to the cause? It is only 2 bills a month right?

Nahhhhhh, fuck that. You don't want to donate YOUR money to the cause... Just get the richest people making over 200k per year pay THEIR money for the cause.... Legalized theft... fancy that.

 

[barman]

I would be happy to see such a program enacted here in Pinellas County FL where I pay school taxes.

If you happen to be a DC taxpayer and object, you should take it to the school board, not to us here at the good ol' PoliticoPub.

Also, you always have the option to relocate and get away from paying the taxes which you agreed to pay when you bought property within DC.

As a father of two recent high school graduates, I can state with confidence that I'm proud neither are as angry, bitter and cynical as you.

In case you haven't quite yet noticed, no one really gives a shit if you consider America a POS country. I'm a fairly staunch "liberal" and Democratic voter who won't for one second miss your presence the day you man up and actually bail from the USA.

 

[texansfan]

I just know the ACLU is somehow involved in this.

I don't believe in fate. We have the free will to change the course of History. Voting for Barrack Hussein Obama will surly put us down that long and lonely road to serfdom. I am not 100 percent yet saying that I will leave if Obama is elected, but I want to start looking at options.

I have no alliegnces to the artifically drawn borders and this piece of land. I owe my allegience to freedom.

If Obama is elected, there will be an equal yet opposite reaction.

No matter how hard you try, I'm only sending them one donation per six weeks.

Gotta save my other donation money for the Democratic Party, Planned Parenthood and NARAL.

 

[krk1030]

I see a scandal coming. Teacher getting half the money and saying they did well, cheating ect.

GTC 'splains: not anger as much as dissapointment. country has gone to shit

SH: Speak for your household, but keep the rest of us out of it please.

G: id stay in america if it had a future, but it doesnt.

SH: I think we both know that ten years from now, it's strong odds you'll still be living in the USA, though we can only hope you won't have burned the previous decade being a whiny bitch.

G: and im not the only one who shares those opinions. parsons and woofdaddy are others who believe america is done.

SH: Don't even for one second try to rope Woof and Parsons into your one-man ShitOnAmerica parade. I've been here almost four years now and that's a dishonest presentation.

You mean a government program designed to fix a failed government program having some scandals?

How about some perv DC teachers trading Dollars for "goods". I mean, how are they going to even administer this 200 dollar "allowance"?

This is nothing more than more wealth redistribution. The wealthy people are paying for the brats to get free education, and a free 200 dollar per month handout.

I wonder what happens when this fails? They are going to give the kids free cell phones, cars when they turn 17, and 500 bucks per month. They are "entitled" to it?
