NEW YORK (AP) - Poor New York City residents will be rewarded for good behaviour - like US$300 for doing well on school tests, $150 for holding a job and $200 for visiting the doctor - under an experimental anti-poverty program city officials detailed Monday.
Among the possible rewards in New York's program are $25 for attending parent-teacher conferences, $25 a month for a child who maintains a 95-per-cent school attendance record, $400 for graduating high school, $100 for each family member who sees the dentist every six months and $150 a month for adults who work full time.
