Oreo*: students shouldn’t get payed for good grades

Have you ever heard of the idea of giving students money for good grades? To tell you the truth, I don’t like the idea. Sure it helps motivate students, but students need to motivate themselves. Offering dough as a reward for good grades may result in the student choosing easier grades. Besides, parents need to spend money on other things that are more important.

One important skill in a child’s lifetime is self-motivation. They may need to use it for everyday activities. Self-motivation can be used during sports and other hobbies. Students need to learn how to persevere without being bribed, so they can do their best in future references. When children are taking tests, their parents aren’t there to say “You’re going to do great! You’ll get an stupendous grade!”, so it’s key to have self-motivation at school too.

We all know it. Parents have a pretty tight budget when it comes to spending. Mothers and fathers need to spend on plenty of things to nurture their precious babies. If they gave their younglings mula for spotless progress reports, they may not be able to afford a roof over their heads. Activities may have to be cut out due to lack of denaro in their savings account.

When it comes time for kids to choose their own classes, easier classes may catch their eye. The income from consistently remarkable A’s could possibly tempt students to choose the most simple classes ever. Most every person wants the easy way out. These people may choose easier tasks whenever possible to ensure the flow of mula doesn’t pause. Younglings may assume cheating will guarantee them the best possible profit out of the worksheet.

Everyone makes mistakes. That is why I hope that I’ve influenced you enough so this misleading mistake doesn’t occur in your household . Mistakes like this may guide a child to greed. Parents won’t be able to keep the flow of mula going to their child/children due to the costs that they face every day. With this terrible effect, offspring may forever live without the importance of self-motivation. This is why students shouldn’t get payed for good grades.
