This is a hard topic to argue.I guess you could say it dedpends on the person.Some are motivated by rewards, and other aren't influenced at all.Some do it for personal gain, yet some my need a little boost.So i say if it get more students through why not.
ReplyDeletei think paying kids for grades motivates them to do more. some kids will go an extra mile in school if it means getting paid at the end of the week. it gets them in the habit of working for something, and the ones who normally do well get get a reward for there effort. also i was in programs before in which i was paid for my good grades, for me it made me work harder.
