Kids will end up feeling like they are entitled to something just because they do things they should already be doing. What's next, giving them money for not smoking or drinking? Some of those programs only give money to kids who are struggling and manage to bring the grades up or go to tutors. That's not fair to kids who are already doing well on their own. I definitely don't think tax money should be going to something like that. I'm all for providing incentives for hard work, but not cash. I don’t like it.
