Steve Butters Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 $70 over 4 years. Based on 252 working days a year and 8 hrs a day, that means they make $0.00868055556/hr...actually, its $75 plus a little interest... 10 per year for 3 yrs, then 25 senior year, plus 5 per year in a savings account....that probably comes out to be almost $76a kid can write their own ticket on $76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore it's about $0.00930059524/hr (without interest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywood3586 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Fuck that! I hated school but managed to drag my ass in everyday. These little bastards these days think they are owed the world. Fucker you're lucky you are even able to go to school. How about spend the money on new books or even ipads to be used in classes. That's a good way to get kids to learn. Technology solves everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 was that sarcasm? i would be fucking pissed if my tax dollars were buying high school kids ipads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywood3586 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 No scarcasm. I didnt mean buying them iPads to keep but to use in school only. I deffenitly don't think they should pay them to go. Where's the learning coming from if they are only showing up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 i think its a gimmick... what kind of kid is goodie enough to even meet the requirements to get paid? lol and its not enough money to coerce them into behaving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
