Shout Out

Even though, I don't believe in "math" or "science" or "studying," I have to send a SHOUT OUT to two schools in Fairburn, Georgia who are starting up at 15-week pilot program that will pay underachieving students $8 an hour to attend a study hall. In order to be eligible, the forty students in grades eight and eleven (for now) must be "underperforming" in math and science. Aside from the sweet more-than-minimum wage, eight graders will get a $75 bonus and eleventh graders will get a $125 bonus if their marks are raised to a B. If all goes well, some kids stand to earn $605 during the semester.

How sweet is that!? All those aspiring student body presidents out there, take note: a promise to pay students for school is coming sooner rather than later! What will they come up with next? CLOWN COLLEGE!? Wait, you're telling me they already have that?
