When I watch the Price is Right, there is such EXCITEMENT when the contestant has a chance to win a new car. The contestants jump up and down as the host explain how to win the car by playing a certain game. Ok, I used to watch Price is Right,haven't watched in many years. Why are some game shows so long running? ok, that's another topic.
Cars are exciting gifts for TV game shows, or awarding your children as they proudly graduate from high school.
How about a new car for perfect attendance for an elementary student? Check this news item.

This is too big a gift, even for a straight A elementary student with perfect attendance. A couple bookmarks are just fine for encouraging the kids.
It is time to demand MORE for students! Attending school is their BASIC responsibility! If a school age child is not sick on a school day, the child SHOULD be in school. It is non sense to award them with such big gifts. Waita minute, the kid is not even allowed to drive until many years later. What's that for?
Waita minute is it a promotion trick for the auto maker?

Schools should be like work. Kids don't get summers off. Each kid gets 3 weeks of vacation per year, so families can go vacation once a year.
Kids stay out of trouble, learn stuff in much less years.
Make schools worth going. Pay top dollars for great teachers.
Schools waste so much money on new editions of books and massive amounts of paint and glue.
