Out of all the ludacris ideas floating around in the world, who would pay students for getting good grades?! Actually, this might just work…On a website named gradefund.com, people are able to create accounts, upload their transcripts and recieve money for their grades. This program was created to fight the growing number of unmotivated students in areas such as New York and various southern states. In addition, many students are feeling overwhelmed due to the prospect of having to repay student loads. 

Recently, the literacy rate in the US is almost at 100%, however, many more students have begun dropping out of school earlier on. This trend must make us reevaluate our schooling systems and eventually perform an verhaul of the entire thing. Thus far, our education program has been declining steadily, but I have a keen feeling that over the next few years we will be seeing vast changes in the way our children are brought up as spend their time in schools.
