NYC to reward poor. $Dollars$ for good behavior
 

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.

uhh can someone tell me the point in them doing this??

pretty fuckin sad you gotta bribe someone with money to do well in life

I don't think it will work...

It could even turn out bad and lead to pregnancies just for the reward.... and TONS of scams going to be going on here..

Also I could just see the one kid who's family needs the $25 for attendance, who skipped class, trying to beg their teacher for the attendance record.

not too bad...parent teacher maybe that covers a babysitter for the rest of the kids


dentist...im sure it only partially covers the expense

kudos on anyone trying new social benefit programs

Something new!! Let us see how it works out!!
