Our teachers have been pretty sensitive about allergies - especially fatal ones! I can't believe there would be some out there who would set up an incentive that would be so completely exclusionary. I guess we are lucky in more ways than one. ( have we mentioned the kids who aren't able to keep up with the reading at all?)
I think that my main problem with the pay incentives is that it assumes it is primarily the fault of the kids that performance and attendence are off. Considering d.c.s problems with poverty, etc., this might just be another way to separate the kids who have a decent home life and those who just don't.
I figure there must only be a slim number who are just 'slacking off' for whom this incentive will make any difference.
