2theadvocate.com News New school pays for behavior — Baton Rouge, LA:
"The students at Children’s Charter’s new middle school get a weekly paycheck to go to school. Sort of.
For the past month, 40 sixth- and seventh-graders have started off with $25 just for showing up. If they behave appropriately, at the end of each class, teachers will add stamps to these paychecks, each one worth another $25. By the end of a week, they can earn as much as $500 which they can then spend at the school’s store."
