No, the parent should be moderated as incorrect. Jerry Seinfeld was offered $5 million per episode to do another season of Seinfeld and turned it down. So no, he won't just go wherever the money is.
Yeah, he made that decision -10 years ago-, remember?
I'm a junior in college right now, and last semester my tab for books ran right around $900 for 18 units. Fortunately I was able to buy most of them at half the cost from other students online, but my physics textbook was cycled to the '12th edition' and basically made me unable to submit problem sets from the 11th; long story short I wound up having to shell out $180 for the 12th edition book since no one else had their hands on it.

So snapping a G.P.S. monitor to a kids belt is going to make them more interested in studying and getting good grades in high school? If the kids are choosing to not show up, forcing them into the classroom is not going to help anything, its just going to make the educational system they're going through seem even more dismal.
It's not a well guarded secret that the quality of education in this country is something of a joke internationally. Why not put that $365,000 into the pockets of teachers instead? In my opinion an interesting, charismatic teacher thats actually passionate about what they teach can be FAR more effective in keeping kids in class as opposed to an G.P.S. device. I graduated from a California high school back in 2003, and I can only recall having a couple of teachers who didn't just mindlessly throw textbook and worksheet assignments at you while having no motivation to actually take the time to teach the material or show any interest in it beyond putting together a test, most of which were ridiculously easy and largely pointless in the grand scheme of things. I think the majority of my peers were interested in learning, even the ones who did make a point to be truant, but in a system where teachers are more interested in getting their students high marks on a standardized test to get the school more funding, that interest has a hard time finding anything really meaningful beyond the endless mantra of 'need to know' facts that are beat into our heads day after day. I seriously think around 90% of the education I receieved during those 4 years could have been absorbed in less than 3 months if the school had just given me the reading material and left me alone to pour over it, and that in itself it sad.
Treating high school students like 5 year olds and benchmarking tests isn't an answer, in fact its a ridiculous waste of money from a institution that's systematically getting further and further away from the notion of what education is actually supposed to be about.

Again, why should it matter whether or not people decide to cheat in the first place? I for one agree that its a total waste of a good game to cheat your way through it the first time you sit down to play and not just enjoy the experience, but I still don't think it should be considered wrong if other people decide to do this for whatever reason (as long as it doesn't take away from another gamers experience, i.e. wall hacks in counter-strike.) For instance, maybe they've already grinded two characters to level 70 and want a third character without having to go through the entire process again, so why not let them?
