those with the highest attendance records are put into a lottery drawing for a prize, anything from ipods to new cars......
if they arent smart enough to realize they are getting an education that costs them nothing, (students, not their parents), are they worth educating?

It's ridiculous, I know. Sounds pretty cool though. And we are doomed. As doomed as Rome was under Romulus Augustulus.

If a school can find a way to encourage high school students to attend classes then I would call them inventive and innovative and darn right clever.
I would rather have them in a classroom trying to learn rather than being out on the street, in the mall or even at home glued to their computer or game machine. If you think about it so would you.
The more education someone gets the more money they are likely to make at work. This generation going to high school now will be the ones who pay the taxes which maintain the rest of us. Wouldn't you rather they be highly paid than not?

I dont think this nation is doomed, there are just so many other factors in the world today that grab the attention of high school kids, think about it, did u like all the homework and teachers when u were in school? I think its great a school in getting the kids involved in being in school, that will help them when they grad, then they will have to choose what do to with there life

If schools find a way to get students in class, even by bribing like they are now, they feel that they are doing their jobs. It is sad that our society has come to this, but these kids won't learn if they don't want to whether they are in school or not. Students who only show up for prizes are doomed, whether they win a car or not.

Why not as a kid we gambled in church. Why not teach our kids to do this in school.
Yes we are doomed but this has already been predestand...it just is a matter of time.
