No, paying them to go to school wouldn't work. Making school interesting works. On most schooldays I was perfectly happy to go to school and as far as I can tell so were many of my friends. But I do know people who say that no one they knew enjoyed school at all. So it depends on the school, the head, the teachers, the parents. And of course on society's attitude to the whole business.

Charles Berlitz, of language school fame, once said something like: there are no bad students, only bad teachers. I think part of his point was that teachers (and those who employ and support them) are in a position to change and improve the way things are done, the students less so.
