Has it gotten so bad that now the city is paying parents to get involved? Rahm Emanuel is planning on paying parents to look at their kids report cards and attend parent teacher meetings. "Parents will receive the vouchers provided they pick up their students' report cards and participate in parent-teacher conferences." No wonder the world mocks our educational system, it should be incentive enough to want to see your kids succeed and do better than you.
already got that in the welfare system, paying people to be parents.
trust me---- somebody that does not know their kid has a 9mm under the bed with a 5 kilo bag of dope, does not care about report cards.

Maybe the next assistance check will not be sent unless proof of attending parent teacher conference and picking up report card is provided. Oh wait, isn't that "socialism"
Here is an example at the very beginning end of the parenting scale. In our city some of the organizations for teen mothers have "incentives" for attending prenatal doctors visits and parenting classes. They will give out free baby clothes or diapers that have been donated to the organization for each appointment or class. They also will have raffles for larger items like strollers. They said that attendance has increased dramatically since they started the incentive program.

Greed wins over a sense of responsibility every time.
If you have an evening job that pays $10/hr, then clearly you should skip parent-teacher conference and picking up the report card. It might make you a "bad" parent to skip the conference, but it makes you a worse parent to skip work and not be paid. Jobs like that certainly do not give you paid time off to go to parent-teacher conference.
If you receive $25 for attending parent-teacher conference, now you can attend and be able to make up the financial shortfall from having to take unpaid time off from work.

Maybe use the stick instead of the carrot?
