Saw a poster today for our NHS Trust....if you give up smoking you can win an IPOD.
I am going to take up smoking then give up..to see if I can win one.

What do you get if you take up / give up smack or some other such nasty? A pc?! A car?!
That annoys me almost as much as the schools that give students MONEY if they turn up for school. -
Only NOG would think of it.

I kind of agree with you,but having also witnessed the results first hand can sort of see the reasoning(in certain circumstances!!)My nephew has Aspergers & when he moved to High school really struggled with the change & my sister couldn't get him to go in...unless she'd tied him up in his PJ's & physically man handled him there...but then the teachers wouldn't be allowed to restrain him to keep him there anywayOriginally posted by janeyo View PostWhat do you get if you take up / give up smack or some other such nasty?

...far better for his well being he was "bribed" in & after he'd had a term of good attendance he was treated to go watch ITFC play...maybe a booby prize for some.For him it worked & it got him back into the habit of going to school & accepting that that was what is expected of him.
So although it seems an odd idea and I have to agree that giving them money is wrong,also it shouldn't be used for absolutely all kids that just fancy a skive,I can also see that it works for some.the fates lead him who will;him who won't they drag.

I have to have minor surgery in a few weeks, I'll give the NHS an ipod (whatever one of those is) if they make sure I don't catch some nasty bug whilst I'm in there.Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.
