Paying Kids to Study (An Early Business Lesson)
In a pilot program in metro Atlanta called “Learn and Earn,” several schools are paying kids to study.
In Fulton County, specially chosen middle school and high school students who aren’t performing well in math and science are paid $8 an hour to attend study hall after school. If their grades actually improve, they can earn an extra $125 each semester. That ends up being as much as $600, which is a pretty decent amount of money when you’re a kid.
Although some people are critical of the plan, saying that we shouldn’t being paying kids to do what they’re supposed to be doing anyway, I certainly understand the effort. Ideally, you’d like kids to be motivated to get good grades just because they want to do well in school, but all kids aren’t like that.
Out in the real world they’ll quickly learn that almost all of our rewards on the job come in the form of cash in one way or another. We quickly learn that money is a great motivator in life. The better you do, the more money you’ll make. They’re just learning that lesson a little early.
For the kids’ sake, I hope it works.
