wouldn't you do this??
I got an email today from the virtual school my daughter had taken some classes last year at (it is a state school you just take the class online on your own time). They are running a study to see how well students comprehend algebra 1 (provided they have not taken algebra 2) and if they participate they get food and drinks while at the testing site plus a goodie bag of stuff (probably like a planner and pencil and a sling pack or something) and the best part the choice of either 5 hours community service credit OR a 25 dollar gift card. Well my daughter has already taken algebra 2 but my son has not and he does not want to participate. It is voluntary and first come first serve so he is not required to do it and I wont make him if he really doesnt want to but I mean who wouldnt do it? LOL Oh and it doesnt go against you if you do not score well. It is solely to see how well students are retaining the knowledge from algebra 1

I probably wouldn't, lol. Not now, or when I was a kid in school. Even for $25.

Hmmm maybe its just me then. I was always good in math and he is too so I figured he would want to. He said no he doesnt want to sit for three or four hours to take a test he doesnt have to take

I have the same mindset he does. I'm good in math (duh, I'm an engineer, lol), but I have better things to do than take a test that isn't required. I don't remember what year alegebra 1 would be, but I made more $$ working for 5 hours, or babysitting, or whatever.

I figured he would for sure because he does yard work for extra money and it pays about the same as the test would and it is a whole lot easier to do. I told him it is up to him if he wanted to we'd take him and drop him off but he doesnt have to. I was just surprised he wouldnt want to.

I'm not sure there is any amount of money that would make me test my math skills. I already know they stink. No need to reinforce my shortcommings.
