Reading for fun and profit
Remember the good old days when you walked to school uphill, both ways, and even read books for free?
Hoping to lower school dropout rates, the mayor of a small town in Spain has suggested paying students one euro for each hour they spend reading.
The town’s council will vote on the idea in March. The jury is still out on whether this will foster a love of reading or love of money.
One Euro for each hour they spend reading?
Hell, at that rate it almost pays better to be a high school student in Spain than it does to be a book reviewer in Canada…
what do you mean “almost”?
Hope springs eternal…
