The New York Times reported that "The McDonald’s restaurants in Seminole County, Florida, and the Seminole County School Board have agreed to reward students for good grades and attendance during the 2007–9 academic year with [free] Happy Meals … Students in kindergarten through 5th grade can now receive a Happy Meal from a local McDonald’s restaurant as a ‘food prize’ for achievements like all As and Bs in academic subjects or two or fewer absences from school." Would Karl Marx welcome this initiative as a positive way to motivate children to do well in school?
