Atlanta Journal-Constitution, January 22, 2008
(excerpt) Fulton County schools want to pay students to stay in school a little longer.
Forty students from Creekside High and Bear Creek Middle schools in Fairburn will be the first to try the "Learn & Earn" program, where students will get paid to attend after-school tutoring programs.
Students will make approximately $8 an hour, and be eligible for bonuses if their grades improve, said Kirk Wilks, district spokesman. The initial students are in the eighth and 11th grades.

Finally, a solution to finding after- school employment!
Why succeed in class,when you can suppress your grades, qualify for the paid after-school program and get paid for doing that which you are expected to do for own benefit?
Who says that politicians can't create jobs?
