Should you get paid to go to summer school?


Washington, D.C. filled it’s at-risk summer school program with students by paying them $5.25 an hour to go to class.  While some see it as a great plan to get teens to show up for class others debate that it sends the wrong message.  One local politician says, “It’s critical that we get at-risk students and under-performing students and failing students into the program, but I don’t think incentivizing them with money sends the right message.”

What do you think–should students get paid to go to summer school?
