If something like this was implemented in middle-class school systems, It would cost too much so it only makes sense to do it in areas and situations where its proven that the kids just don't care. It's sort of like the new tax incentives like the "no capital gains tax" where it only applies to those in the 10% tax bracket who wouldn't have any capital gains to tax in the first place.
