Nice that the school has that kind of money to spare. Can't help wondering if they're in the bandwagon with the rest of our nation's schools to cry about being under-funded.
But like Supernova wrote, we'll see how it results. This is actually what's being done in Brazil on a much higher scale. I don't know what the parameters are, but Brazil's President has issued a program to pay poor families to keep their kids in school. His idea to decrease some of the poverty through education. If I'm still around to see it I'll be interested to find out how this plan will transpire.

Why do we have to pay them to be in class? If they don't want to come, then let them stay home.
