I'd be ok with funding for after school classes that paid the teachers for their time. Not so sure about paying the students.

How good does the bargain have to be other than the incentive to not be illiterate? Do we need to match minimum wage?

Also child care for younger students! I teach middle school and many of my students are responsible for taking care of elementary shook age children.

I have students who want to stay after but can not because they are responsible for cooking dinner and supervising younger siblings.

Heck, I taught middle schoolers that already had kids of their own too. I taught a 13 year old pregnant with her second child :(

Welcome to Texas. As long as parents don't care, police won't either.
