Today's report comes from Rosewood Middle School in Goldsboro, North Carolina. Parents at the school, frustrated with the lack of money for student programs, came up with a new idea to raise funds after last year's chocolate sale flopped: The school would sell test points to children. For example, 20 points could be bought for $20 and students could add 10 points to two tests of their choice.
"Last year they did chocolates, and it didn't generate anything," Principal Susie Shepherd said.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the idea was nixed after a report of the proposed fundraiser was published in the The News & Observer.
Here's more on the cash-for-grades fundraiser.
