What I think is that the name Droga5 is the worst name possible. It means DRUGS in spanish.

Rewarding kids for turning up does not engage them.

You could give out free mobiles to get people going back to church on Sundays. I would go. But I wouldn't care for one word being said.

This all just smells like crappy parenting

The AD industry will reward anything that says they can do more than advertising. No matter if it works or not, as long as it takes them to somewhere safe, away from the ghost of irrelevance.

Toben, a friend of mine got himself a christian girlfriend. He went to the church every sunday with her and is now christian himself. Kind of worked on him.

I wonder if this incentive is enough to get children to attend school and behave themselves or are they simple giving the phones to though who would do so anyway. It would be very interesting to see the evidence one way or the other. I would certainly not have viewed it as an incentive in any way when I was in school.

I suppose the big question is would a disruptive child who has is street wise and have access to stolen mobile phones free of charge value another phone given to him legally?

Solely turning up, won't win these kids minutes or talk-time rewards.
Good attainment + behaviour will be the main contributors to the rewarding of talktime and text allowances.
