What's going on?

For making As and Bs, showing up for every class and behaving himself in class, Bloom Trail freshman Stephen Kralaf got $50 cash.

And for each month this year he remains a stellar student, he'll collect at least $50 more to add to his computer fund.

Wait, there's more. . .

The freshman class of more than 520 students was broken into thirds, with a control group, one group earning $50 for their parents and one group getting to keep the cash for themselves every month. Several monthly $500 prizes also are raffled off for those who are successful.

Brittany Garcia, of Steger, won a $500 raffle prize she planned to use on a new phone. At the reward program last week, she nodded, yes, she was working harder knowing cash awaited her before tearing out front to enjoy the rest of her prize: a joy ride in a gigantic white stretch limo complete with interior flashing lights.

Why are we giving these kids money to attend school and get good grades? That's what they are supppose to do anyway. Or have there parents reward them like some of our parents did. But not only that, to use the money foolishly like getting a new phone and a limo ride. Maybe the school system should start one of those Bright Start bank accounts and put the money in there for college. What is this world coming to.
