The DC District is paying 305 students with poor academic and behavioral records to attend summer school, The Washington Examiner has learned.

The rising ninth-graders are earning $5.25 an hour to participate in the “Summer Bridge” program, which targets students identified by D.C. Public Schools as less likely than their peers to graduate high school within four years.

Talk about mpre liberal “feel good” horsechit!
I do not recall anyone PAYING me to go to summer camp when I was a kid.....then again, if I was failing at schoolwork,or misbehaved, I felt dads hand, was grounded, and had no TV OR RADIO(let alone computer/ipad/cellphone.etc....etc......)
This entitlement crap infuriates me! Those kids need a kick in the ass, not a FREE paycheck!
