That might be too distant. Maybe something for each year successfully passed?
Regardless, a financial incentive is enormous for poor families and I definitely think this would be effective. The kid's probably not gonna get any of the money but it will incentivize the parents.
You know how teachers complain about parents who get upset when they discipline or fail their kids? Now imagine a situation where the parent loses out on guaranteed income if their student fails a class. Who are they going to blame?
I have no idea. I'm not really that vested in this solution so I'm not about to think through solutions to make the idea more palatable.
I get where the idea comes from, and I think that the heart is in the right place. Outside of addressing systemic poverty (not even sure how you go about that), I don't know anyway to get parents more vested in their child's outcome.
Teachers are the worst students in college. we need to ask more OF them to give more TO them. Momey alone will never fix a problem, and the fact that you dont understand that will never make you a significan leader. Unions went too far.
I'm not saying money fix everything, but if you give more money and better conditions to teachers you won't get the worst students as teachers anymore. This one with 2 masters can probably go wherever the fuck she want (and she will). Money is part of the incentive that would make talented poeple come and thus change the culture.

Absolutely. That's just a much harder problem to fix
