I guess a pat on the back isn't good enough anymore or just doing what you're supposed to do. Chicago Public Schools gave away a brand new dodge caliber car to a 12-year-old girl who had perfect attendance. It was part of a drawing where her family was the lucky one out of 150 people to have a key turn the ignition. First of all, a car. I never had perfect attendance in school ever but if I did I wasn't getting a car or any kind of gift. Then the girl is 12. She'll have to wait 4 years just to drive the car. I understand it's an incentive driven world nowadays and every good deed needs to be rewarded. But it just seems this wasn't thought out right. Why does a 7th grader need a car? School officials had their hearts in the right places, giving a reward for something that doesn't happen often. Kids these days are looking for any reason to skip class and miss school. How about a gift certificate? Maybe splurge and get an ipod or computer. I guess everyone will be showing up to class next year.
