[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The heading of this post reduces already causes me to believe this is a troll.  However who is to say that parents are not already involved in the parent's education and why would a monetary incentive increase that involvement?[/quote]

Consider this, no one really wants to get a bill in the mail that says "Mr. and Mrs. Jones you owe $233 this month" and at the bottom of the bill is their child's report card filled with failing grades for that month.  I swear every parent would be up in arms that they're paying for crappy grades or awful customer service (teaching/administration). And not only would they become more active in their child's learning and understanding of concepts, but they'd check grades more frequently, add tutors, require more of principals, etc. There's something about the way we feel when we're paying something for nothing.  But when you really think of it, with high homeownership in PG where schools are funded through taxes, isn't that what we're getting anyway? Failing students in return for our increasing tax bills?  IJS, less golf, more tutors.  Fewer handbags and Benzes, more helicopter parenting. We need it. And yes, I live in the county. Not a troll.
