I am not keen on this idea. It only serves to divert education monies that are better spent on facilities improvments, holding the line on increasing school taxes, and educational resources/opportunities. While there seems to be some valid arguments in favor of paying (or rewarding however you wish to call it) of which I understand, in the big picture, I believe it ultimately cultivates a society of grown children who will perform, work, or act only when there is a concrete gain in it for them.... and not so much from the abstract side like having pride, responsibility and self-advancement. This is a typical scheme, popular amongst left-wingers. And of course many teachers would welcome this since it makes attaining state mandated standards that much easier.
Feel free to voice your thoughts on this matter.
