Washington Post August 29, 2008

School officials in D.C. named 14 schools yesterday to a pilot program where students will be rewarded for good test scores and behavior with cash incentives. Fourteen other schools were selected as a control group where students will not be receiving the cash rewards. The announcement of the program has triggered critical debate between parents, educators, and officials.
