What a complete joke this school system has become. I live right near the Detroit area and their school district disgusts me. What ever happened to wanting to go to school to succeed. Why must they get a handout for showing up? People wonder why this generation is becoming so lazy... Once a year, Detroit Public Schools pulls out all the stops to get students in their seats.
In 2010, the district enticed students with a total of $20,000 in Target gift cards. The prize for attendance in 2009: a shot to win a laptop, iPod, or 42-inch flat screen TV.
This year, every Detroit public high school student who shows up to school on Oct. 3 will be rewarded with a free pair of Nikes, courtesy of a local shoe store. [ link to finance.yahoo.com]  OP is a complete and total hypocrite, going to school on a scholarship. Pfffft How am I a hypocrite you shill. I worked hard in high school and got into a good college that offered me a scholarship? These kids could do the same thing I did if they went to class and worked hard. You reap what you sow. I put in the effort and received rewards in return. These kids put in no effort and still receive the rewards. It doesn't make sense! A scholarship is still a gift, even if you attained certain standards. What makes you think these students cannot attain to these standards? From that article? You have shown your ugly pretense, live with it. There's quite a difference between studying hard for years to receive a gift as compared to showing up to school for one day to receive a gift and you know. You are the ugly one.
