GameStop Manager Suspended After "Games for Grades"

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the remember-you-still-work-for-someone-else dept.

mikesd81 writes "A manager at a GameStop has been suspended for instituting a 'games for grades' policy. 'Brandon Scott says he started a unique new policy in his store to promote good grades in school but now his employer has sent him to detention for speaking out of turn. Scott says he's been suspended by GameStop in the wake of his unconventional "games for grades" policy at an Oak Cliff store.' Apparently, on his own, Scott decided to stop selling video games to any school-age customer unless an adult would vouch for the student's good grades."

    A manager of a Barnes and Noble has recently stopped selling books to high school students in his area who are getting failing grades. It's uncertain on how they will learn without books, but the manager is taking a tough love position: "Kids should know at an early age that life isn't fair and that choices you make early on determine if you are going up or going down."

    Perhaps leather curing on racks? Hunters in loincloths returning with bits of mastodon?

    No? That's because this isn't a village.
