Paying for grades would be motivation to kids. I know if i were getting paid I'd look at school a lot differently. Studies show that minorities typically have lower scores than whites. "Studies show students taking the SAT tests, children from black families that earn $60,000 a year score the same as white children from families earning $20,000 a year." I think that paying for grades would help children that are not interested in school get more involved. Students that already try will not be affected they are already involved they will just get even more rewards for their efforts.

Most books that would have racism, profanity, or sex would be for older teenagers. These books will more than likely not talk about anything that we haven't seen before. Even so if someone has never experienced that they need to get exposed to it, because in the real world they will in some way or another.
