"The District [of Columbia] is paying 305 students with poor academic and behavioral records to attend summer school, The Washington Examiner has learned."
"The rising ninth-graders are earning $5.25 an hour to participate in the "Summer Bridge" program, which targets students identified by D.C. Public Schools as less likely than their peers to graduate high school within four years."So, let’s find those least likely to succeed and reward them? What could possibly go wrong?
Better yet, what are they trying to accomplish?
Is the project geared towards getting “at risk” and/or under-performing children into a program to help them succeed in the classroom, or is the project geared towards providing essential work skills for use in post high school life?
