"A Lot of Fat Kids Who Don't Like to Read"

When reading the article assigned for class, at first I thought it would just be about kids being bribed with food, such as Pizza Hut, in order to get them to read. However, when I was finished reading the article I thought it was extremely interesting and in a way disturbing at how many kids are being bribed and in a way tricked into reading and doing other things while in school. However, the point that I read that was extremely disturbing was the fact that a program based in Minneapolis was handing out ID cards according to a student's GPA, and their GPA dictated that amount of the discount that received from local merchants. All in all, the article was very eye opening and I do think students should be encouraged to read and do school based activities, however they should not have incentives which are the only things that are keeping them doing those activities.
