That’s not what OP said. In public schools, there are no consequences versus charter schools. Whether you’re privileged or not is not entirely correlated with if you have the capacity to be a functional, effective student.
But OP proposed a solution based on carrots, giving students $50 a week for good behavior. Students born with privilege will obtain a smaller benefit from this system, and will behave how they wish.
Propose an alternative mechanism. If you can’t use a stick, and you can’t use a carrot, how else will you encourage behavior conducive to educational achievement?
Now you're getting it.
I take it that you knew the person was joking, and you're just being...............???? Argumentative? Devil's advocate?
