From the New York Daily News, New York City is paying parents to send their children to school and ensure they pass tests:
Families can get up to $5,000 a year in payouts. An annual medical checkup gets each family member $200. The families get up to $500 if a child attends high school 95% of the time and an additional $600 for each Regents exam teens pass.
Once, in the forgotten mists of time, mothers and fathers used to do this without being bribed; they did it for the eccentric reason that they cared for their children, and wanted the best for them.
It used to be known by the quaint term "parenting."
