TU: Jacksonville's KIPP school ready to pay students a little cash for FCAT scores

I can't even say how insane this sounds to me...............nothing more but another entitlement started and used on the youngest folks to get them on the path to expecting money from the government for everything.  Ludicrous!  Comments please.

 

NFL superstar Randy Moss once famously said, “straight cash homie,” when describing how he would pay a fine. And KIPP charter school officials want to offer their students in Jacksonville “straight cash” for their FCAT performance.

Other students in Northeast Florida have been offered gift cards, parties, even cars for the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. KIPP Impact Middle School, though, wants to give cash — $20 — to students who reach specific learning gains scores.

If all of the school’s 160 students reach their targets, the school would pay about $3,200 in private donations to the students.

KIPP Impact, a national network of public college preparatory charter schools that targets underprivileged students, had the region’s lowest FCAT score last year.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
