Pay Children To Go To School.

Well I say yes. Nobody should get something for nothing. If employers want educated workers, make them pay for it.


They're not getting something for nothing. They're getting something for the salary they are paying employees.

You're the one who wants something for nothing.

If a person expects to get a job and earn a living wage, they will educate themselves or seek an education.
 
In a way, paying them makes sense. Of course its not going to happen. But this is a capitalism eceonomy. Its ONLY about making a dollar. Wages are tied to effort. Less wages less effort, higher wages more effort. Yet in school theres nothing for effort. A growing number of stufents dont really care about learning. Perhaps pay is motivation? So, in a way it makes sense but of course its not going to ever happen.

How do you know? Another guess? Some kid gave you the wrong change at the grocery store once?
 
That is Wayyyyyy, different! Also, I have never heard of a program anywhere that pays thugs to not commit crimes. But there is something governments could do that would work far better. Give people ******* employment! At a livable wage. By taxing the living shit out of the wealthy! For example, I was reading that a full time employee at WalMart may still eligible for medicaid and food stamps. Why? Because like the workers at many other places, they are basically wage slaves.
Are you aware that no government can "give" jobs to anyone except for their own employees, and they are trying to do that with gift jobs to get them reelected and build their little empire? Not working too well. Are you aware that the government you worship has paid dividends to mothers that can't or won't support their children, and have done so for years and now it is a career path? Or allowed the importation of low skill low wage workers to displace whatever work force we still had? I don't think you understand what's been done to our people and our country in the last 75 years.
 
If you make it about paying kids, you'll probably end up with lots of fraud.

Good teachers are able to motivate students without paying money.

If good teachers can't motivate, then there's something wrong with society and this needs to be fixed.

I'm not saying education doesn't benefit people. I'm saying that motivating in a manner like money is going to cause problems.
 
You mean like the "fraud" Elon's DOGE never found? Next, torturers can also motivate people. Next, there is something wrong with society. MANY things. Too bad this forum would never allow me to speak of the main causes. Next, paying people to do work, even school work, never causes problems. Only not paying people enough causes problems.
 
I got paid to go to school. My brothers and I were taught that school was our job as children. We got paid in food, clothing and shelter. If we decided we didn’t want to “work”, those things would stop appearing.

Well when you work for the state, they can give you a job. And the state can create an industry to make any product it likes. Next, what makes you think I worship the government. If you are going to make false accusations like that, stop replying to me. Next, don't give me that "blame the poor" bullshit. Next, you think "importing" low wage workers is the problem? You're ******* WRONG! The U.S. sending most of its manufacturing jobs to wage slave countries like China is the problem. The average hourly wage of a Chinese worker is $3.60 per hour. The average hourly wage of an American worker is $28.16 per hour. It's no wonder that Steve Jobs once famously said of the jobs sent overseas, "Those jobs aren't coming back."

Well if you were taught that school was your job, you got taught wrong. Also, life isn't pay. In no job that I am aware of is anybody paid in just food, clothing and shelter.

Well write your congressman and ask that it does happen. Because do you know what happens when you pay people? They spend it. That makes businesses more profitable. If they are more profitable, they can be taxed more. Everybody wins.

That’s how it was where I grew up. School was the #1 priority for the children. Anything beyond school only existed after the school responsibilities were completed. Just that simple.
 
Employers seem to want something for nothing. (Such as them wanting big tax breaks at the expense of the poor) They seem to want educated workers. Though not too educated. Or those seeking the work will just be told that they are overqualified for the job. It is because the educated have a value to society that the government pays for children to get a high school diploma. But many drop out. So I have a better idea that I stated for the title of this thread. Actually pay children to go to school. That would make dropping out less likely to happen. And the better their grades, the more pay they would get. It would teach children a valuable life lesson from an early age. That if they want money, they need to work for it.

Another point is why should employers get educated workers for free. Also, when I was a child, I got an allowance each week. Which was enough to go see a movie. But some people are so poor that they can't afford to give their children an allowance. Paying children to go so school would fix that. On top of that, the wealthy would probably like to think that their children are all superior and shit. Because they are the children of wealth people! Well put that to the test. The children of the wealthy don't need the money. Put them up against children that have an incentive to do well in school. Let's see how those "superior" children stack up.

But let's not stop there. Actually pay young adults to go to college. From what I was reading, there are several countries that do so. If they can afford to do it, why shouldn't we?

Another point is why should employers get educated workers for free.

Exactly! If only there were some ways to tax employers and their workers in order to pay for education.

That was before DEI, participation trophies, white self-loathing, and the government taking over as provider and guardian for children.

Actually it was right on the edge of those times. My high school graduation was 1992.
