On Friday, we told you about Brandon Scott, the Dallas GameStop manager who was refusing to sell games to school age kids who weren't doing well in school. As expected, GameStop corporate has put a stop to Scott's non-sanctioned program; Scott is currently suspended. A statement from corporate said that "GameStop is learning about and evaluating Mr. Scott's concept."
According to WFAA, the local response to Scott's program was overwhelmingly positive, though the reaction of commenters online has been mixed at best.
I think many of our readers had the right idea when they said Scott's idea should be made into more of a carrot than a stick--rather than punish bad students, reward good ones, with either a discount on purchases or a higher trade-in rate.
