Cashing in

I caught this Lehrer Newshour segment on cash payments for learning –  one of the latest in a series of appalling ideas spawned by testing mania.

Surprise: A startling effect- the cash  only made things worse.

Watch the video and see what you think about this latest example of disincentives for learning. Can you think of a better use for the money ?
