Does anyone else want to get paid for going to school??!!?

Question

I was watching the news and they were talking about somewhere in the U.S (not sure what state) where they were debating on whether students should get paid for going to school and studying. Some wanted, some didn't (which im not sure why not!?). So, does anyone get paid for going to school now? Or does anyone want paid!! I do! Personally, i work hard at school and if we got paid so many more kids would go to school and study for the money! We'd find the money somehow to give it out! I SWEAR THIS IS TRUE!! THEY WERE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT IT AND I COULDNT BELIEVE IT!! Answer here!!

Answer 1

if i were paid to go to school for good grades, than already, i would of made like, 200 dollars... im a good student

:-P

Answer 2

Only thing I know of is Work study, you get paid for working at school in some departments (for my school anyways).  

This does sound like a great idea though for a falling economy and lackluster educational system, this could prove to work and get people who drop-out to come back and give it a try!

Was it on the news? If so what station (even if you don't live in my area I would like to know =D)

Answer 3

wow that would be so awsome

yea 6 hours a day seems like it isnt worth it, but if u get paid it would be. Even if it was only like $5 an hour, it would still be sick.

But i dont think they would ever do that. It would cost way 2 much for every single kid.

Answer 4

Yea i would love to get payed but where is the money gonna come from..

Answer 5

Yes. I wrote an essay on this subject before. The money would probably come from taxes and tax payer's money, so it probably wouldn't work out too well. I've always thought it was a good idea though because then the money can go to this special fund for students' tuitions, since it costs SO much money to just go to college and graduate school. In addition to the fact that financial aid doesn't exactly cover the amount that is needed. I have doubts that it's going to happen though.

Answer 6

Some of us do get paid to go to college.  I get a check for 500 dollars every month, plus about 2000 dollars back every semester from my financial aid after my tuition is paid.  Then I buy my books, mail off the reciepts and in a few weeks I get a check to reimburse me for all the money I just spent on school supplies.

The reason that I get all this stuff is because for one thing I have an awesome scholarship, TOPS, which I think is only available in Louisiana.  Plus I was a foster child so I get a pell grant, and the monthly check plus reimbursement for school supplies is paid to me by the office of family services where I was in foster care.  

But basically yeah this makes my life so much easier.  I think everyone should get it!!  I feel bad sometimes or guilty because I get so much free money to pay for school while all my friends are struggling.  It's not fair that only I get this help!!

Not to mention, even though I do get all this money I still have a hard time making ends meet sometimes.

The government should help people out more with college.  I bet if everyone else got all the help I get then no one would drop out!!

Answer 7

no....because even like 1 or 2 dollars a term would cost so much. how many kids are there in the US?

Answer 8

here in the UK WE DO GET PAID TO GO SCHOOL

its  a prevention for kids that want to stop studying after their gcse's because  they cant afford to study ie,travel,books,lich,and wantto start working

so its really good a lots of kids d ocarry on for the funding and because it makes life easier

Answer 9
