KIPP's All-American Values
You have to hand it to KIPP - they don't mess around:
If I were one of these kids, I'd be demanding a lot more than a mere $20. KIPP pulls in lots of government fundsStudents in Northeast Florida have been offered gift cards, parties, even cars for their performance on the FCAT. Continuing that long history of incentive programs in the state and Northeast Florida, KIPP Impact Middle School is offering $20 to students who reach specific learning gains scores on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. If all of the school’s 160 students reach their targets for learning gains, KIPP Impact would pay out about $3,200 in private funds to the students.KIPP Impact, which is a national network of public college preparatory charter schools that targets underprivileged students, earned the six-county region’s lowest FCAT score last year.[emphasis mine]
