That’s…so cruel. There’s plenty of wonderful children who just don’t work well with the traditional schooling model. Not to mention that’s so much pressure on the child to do well. That’s not fair to the kid.
- phasehosiery 5y agoI didn't intend on this to be a cruel suggestion. I should've put in more context to the suggestion. As someone that grew up in a poor household, I was working unofficially babysitting, pet sitting before 10 and a real job at 13. The thought was rather than forcing kids into side hustles to help out at home, make school their income.
- Dracophoenix 5y agoHow is it cruel? What the poster is describing is, in its most essential form, a merit-based scholarship.
- hardwaregeek 5y agoI see it akin to having everybody run a race and giving them cash according to how they place. Except what about this kid who's in a wheelchair? Or the kid who has cerebral palsy? Or the kid who's staying up all night to help run his parents' restaurant and comes to school exhausted? There's plenty of people who don't get good grades for reasons outside of their control.
