Idiots of the World - High School Bribe

Here's the scene. Little Billy is deathly ill, but he decides to go to school anyway. "Why?", you ask. Well I'll tell you: it's because Little Billy's school is promising him 25$ for every quarter without a single missed day. Oh yeah, and the school officials don't call it a bribe. How about going back to the good ol' days when not going to school was a punishable offense? How about THEM APPLES?
