15-year-old James Mond is being forced by his mother to stand on various Tampa, Florida street corners with a sign that details his poor GPA and bad score on an achievement test.

The sign encourages motorists to "Honk if I need an education."

Rhoda Holder says James will have to perform this task for a week, and believes her tough love will prevent her child from becoming a drop out.

Psychologist Stacey Scheckner, who My Fox Tampa spoke to, thinks this humiliating technique will backfire and result in James acting out more.
