Principal offers students $100 to stay off their screens

Diana Smith, principal of Washington Latin Public Charter School in Washington DC, offered rising 8th and 9th graders $100 each to stay entirely off their screens one day each week this summer.

Kids have these phones under their pillows at night theyre going to bed, theyre texting each other at 3, 4 in the morning, Smith told WTOP. "I challenge them to stay off of any screens so television, games, phones, tablets, everything for the 11 Tuesdays that we have of summer break."

The students must provide two signed letters from adult witnesses to be eligible for the cash price.
