This is an interesting idea. Along the same lines, I recently heard a program on NPR talk about how prisoners in some institutions can now opt in to a program where they read a book and write a book report on it. If they pass, they get 2-3 months taken off their sentence. Seems like a no brainer to me.
They mentioned that Cliff Notes are not available and that the teachers are thorough enough to ensure they actually read the book. Cool idea, huh?
