Rich First-Grader Buys Whole Sheet Of Gold Stars
BREMERTON, WA — Lakeside Elementary first-grader Max Carr, son of Boeing
CEO Robert Carr, used a small portion of his $100 weekly allowance
Monday to buy himself a sheet of the gold stars used to reward academic
achievement. "I don't get why all the kids work so hard to get good
grades just for a sticker," Carr said. "I only got a C-minus on my
phonics homework, but Mommy took me to the mall, and now I have 10 gold
stars — more than anybody in the whole class." Carr said his "dumb
classmates have no idea" that students can simply purchase a sheet of
"Great Job!" Mickey Mouse stickers at a store.
