(DON'T FORGET THAT THIS SUNDAY, JUNE 20th, IS FATHER'S DAY! THERE IS STILL TIME TO BUY YOUR DAD A DISCOUNTED GIFT CARD FROM MERCARDI!)
It is a sad fact that our school system in the USA is in bad shape, (Did you know that one in three teens never make it to graduation?) but this story really puts just how bad it is into perspective.
Detroit, Michigan schools are offering parents a total of $25,000 in Target gift cards if they will simply update their students' contact information. The Detroit school district's efforts include leaving a door hanger on the doors of current students, offering gift cards from $25 up to $1000 if the parents will update contact info for students, in a effort to retain the current students they have enrolled.
The nearly 100 comments to the story are just about as interesting as the story itself.
