Points for cash in school

And, I know my kids. If they got cash in their own name, they surely wouldn't spend it on SAT prep courses .... it would go for an ipod or cellphone or a tv in their room, which I wouldn't allow at their age.

I don't think I agree with you there. Try not showing up on time, and then when you do show up? Beat up a co-worker or two. See how long they keep paying you...
