Cash for class? Lawmakers consider paying some kids to go to school in Ohio

Here are the incentive options spelled out in the bill:

Cash transfers of $25 made biweekly during the school year for students with an attendance rate of 90% or higher
Cash transfers of $150 at the end of each quarter of the school year to participating ninth-grade students and the parents or guardians of participating kindergarten students with an attendance rate of 90% or higher for that quarter
One cash transfer of $500 at the end of the school year to participating ninth-grade students and the parents or guardians of participating kindergarten students with an attendance rate of 90% or higher for that school year.

================

Free money to students is bad enough but free money to parents is simply paying someone to obey the law that requires parents to keep their kids in school.

BTW, this is a bi-partisan bad idea like UBI.
