Cash for As

Last year, the Goldsboro Middle School in North Carolina sold chocolates to raise money, but that didn't go very well. So this year, the idea was to sell grades for $20 a pop, but Wayne County school administrators have now put a stop to that.

A student who made a $20 donation to Rosewood Middle School would have added 20 test points, which comes out to 10 extra points on two tests that the student chose. That could lift a B to an A, or prop up a failing grade to a D.
