    Fulton County schools want to pay students to stay in school a little longer.

    Forty students from Creekside High and Bear Creek Middle schools in Fairburn will be the first to try the "Learn & Earn" program, where students will get paid to attend after-school tutoring programs.

    Don't you think kids will pretend to be stupid so they can get into the after school pay-to-learn program?
