tablets iPad they are extremely popular among young Americans, so popular that a school uses them to convince them not to miss classes. The students who have the fewest absences and have very good grades, enter a lottery whose final prize is a car and some tablets iPad produced by the Apple company, a student already winning a Chevrolet Sonic at the end of the 12th grade. Apart from these prizes, the school offers every month a surprise of a smaller value to students who have good school performances, and I think the method should be applied without any shame in Romania.
Graduating senior Vanessa Umana expected to leave last Friday's commencement ceremony at Francis Polytechnic High School with a diploma, a few photos and some wonderful memories. Imagine her surprise, then, when Principal Ari Bennett announced that Vanessa would also be getting an $18,000 Chevrolet Sonic, one of two grand prizes awarded in a year-long contest to encourage perfect attendance at Los Angeles Unified schools.
Most of the gifts offered by the school are generally donated by companies in Los Angeles, the location of the educational institution, so federal government money is not used for prizes. It is not known yet if Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), donated the 5 tablets offered for now as a prize by the school, or another company was convinced to support education, but the big companies in Romania should seriously think about supporting education at any level with similar prizes, but they should not to think only of Bucharest.
