What If #6

This post is an invitation to you to think about the word in the middle of life: IF (L-IF-E). Each week the Rivera Runs Through It blog will present a different "What If...?" question for you to explore. Some will be serious, some will be silly, some might be political, religious or historical.

You can either write a response of your own, or just tune in to see what everyone else has to say about it. At the bottom of this post will be a place for you to link up your own post about the question, so feel free to share. If you have arrived at this post and the inlinkz tool is closed, or you don't have a blog, then please leave your response (or link) in the comment section below using DISQUS.

Happy pondering to everyone...
It is back to school time here in New York City, so we need a back-to-school What If!

What IF #6:
What if students were paid to go to school?

Some people pay to go to school, but what if we flipped it around the other way? What if students were paid to go to school? What if you were? Is there a particular grade or subject that you think that would have made sense for? Do you think this idea is ridiculous all together? Should students be paid based on merit (in other words, only get paid if they attain a certain grade or level of achievement).

What kind of culture do you think would be created by paying students? What are the benefits of such a move? What are the drawbacks?

There's tons to think about with this topic, so pick a direction, and go for it! Let us know what you think! Link up below, or comment below!
