school:if you can't make the grade, buy it!

NC school sells test points for $20 to raise money (AP) – 1 day ago GOLDSBORO, N.C. — A middle school in North Carolina is selling test scores to students in a bid to raise money. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Wednesday that a parent advisory council at Rosewood Middle School in Goldsboro come up with the fundraising plan after last year's chocolate sale flopped. The school will sell 20 test points to students for $20. Students can add 10 extra points to each of two tests of their choice. The extra points could take a student from a "B" to an "A" on those tests or from a failing grade to a passing grade. Principal Susie Shepherd says it's not enough of an impact to change a student's overall grades. Officials at the state Department of Public Instruction say exchanging grades for money teaches children the wrong lessons.

I'm talking about other countries where you have to slip everyone a $100 just to get a permit.

I can't wait until people start screaming racism on this one. What would work better is if your kid makes an A on a test you owe the school nothing. They make a B you owe the school $100. Make a C $300 and make a D/F you owe $600. I bet parents take an interest in their childs education then. Good football players exempt of course.

I actually agree with Trip...it's how the world works
 It’s how most politicians got thru school anyway (parents money/influence)  Quote:
