Good Morning America on Velvet for February 7

LEARN AND EARN: DOES IT WORK?
Fulton County school officials will pay students to study after school in a new program designed to improve their classroom performance. The program called "Learn & Earn" is being offered to 40 students from Creekside High and Bear Creek Middle schools in Fairburn. The program will give students $8 an hour to study after school. The privately funded program also will offer cash bonuses to students who improve their in-school performance. School officials say the goal is to determine whether paying students to study will improve their performance. The 15-week trial program will be conducted with students in the eighth and 11th grades. Students were selected by school staff, based on attendance, grades, test scores and free or reduced-lunch status. A community kickoff ceremony is planned for 3 p.m. Thursday in the media center at Creekside High School.

I DARE YOU
GMA is kicking off a new series called "I Dare You"... where they dare our anchors to do something completely out of their element. Robin kicks it off by strutting her stuff on the catwalk at NY Fashion Week.

SIX DEGREES
From National Geographic: Like something out of a disaster movie, a six degree global average temperature rise in the next one hundred years could render the world something completely different.
