She said any money raised would help buy digital cameras for the school's computer lab and a high-tech blackboard. And what's wrong with the old-fashioned blackboards??? |

Nope, can't call this one a great idea. If I were a parent at this school, I'd pay the teacher $20 USD to give my kid the grade he earned. |

I'm willing to bet it would have raised less money than selling chocolates. Lack of motivation, both student and parent in many cases, is more of a problem than lack of funding. And lack of funding is a BIG problem. |

Falsifying grades for money is S.O.P. around here – the regs call for constant improvement in the schools, or the Fed money gets cut. Infinite improvement is impossible, therefore… Charging the kids directly is a bit crass, though.
