The latest gimmick for duping black people into a handout mentality, further undermining our genuine brilliance and drive, is to pay for better grades. This is a farce, and it will not work. As long as education is not pursued for the sake of building basic learning skills, satisfying wonder, and gaining the immense self-confidence that comes from completing an ardous task, there is no reward.
There are many reasons why a public education should stay "free." Compensating children now will undermine their ambition, not increase it. And if you think there is a bullying problem in public schools now...Wait until the science nerd starts hauling in a bigger "pay check" than the woodshop student.
Then again, spending a few million dollars paying the children of the poor for a marginal improvement on their report cards, could muzzle the cry for spending hundreds of millions on job creation for their parents...Hmmmmmm?
