People Will Try Anything  

Students get paid to learn?

I know, most of you won't even bother clicking on the link because the story originated in Atlanta (but how would you know that without clicking?), so let me quickly summarize:

"Forty students from Creekside High and Bear Creek Middle schools in Fairburn will be the first to try the "Learn & Earn" program, where students will get paid to attend after-school tutoring programs."

You see, the students that enroll in the program learn how bribery works!

More importantly, who's going to do all the random chores like shoveling snow and mowing the lawn for a cheap buck now that kids could earn $8 an hour sitting in a tutoring session?
