Opinion: No, I believe children should not be paid for getting good grades. Money does, in fact, influence much in the human world, but for it to influence someones passion in getting a good education can be seen as beyond ridiculous. If one will only make an effort to get high grades and marks in school, to actually hold on to all they are being taught for money then they may need to be taught something else, in my opinion. That lesson would be in actually caring enough for oneself to not have to be paid to retain knowledge that will only do good for them in this world.
Yes because people will be smarter.
Only if their parents want to pay them. Your reward for good grades is knowing you're doing a good job and passing the class and eventually getting a better job than if you flunked out. However, many parents do reward their children for good grades. You must talk to your parents and see if they would agree to give you some sort of reward.
Who said they can't? In the UK, students are paid to attend education, usually £30 for one week of full attendance. It helps encourage them to learn and keeps trouble off the streets.
I was Paid for Good GradesThat got me thinking back to when I was a kid. In retrospect, I was paid for getting good grades. It wasn't a formal arrangement, and I never knew what was coming, but I do recall several semesters both in high school and in college where my parents would reward me for a job well done. It might have been 50 bucks in high school or for college, a few extra bucks in the monthly budget for room and board, etc. I don't recall specifics, but I recall being thankful for the recognition of my achievements and on the rare occasion where I didn't have a good semester, there was no reward. There wasn't a conversation per se, like "no money this time since you didn't fulfill your potential", there was only positive reinforcement when I did something right. There's much research that shows that negative reinforcement doesn't have any discernible benefit in influencing outcomes (it actually backfires often times) and positive reinforcement tends to be a very strong incentive. However, I recall both. I recall making my parents proud and the occasional pat on the back, but I also remember the financial reward. That's just me and every kid's different, but if it works…Surely many parents will be thinking, "I got good grades and I wasn't bribed…my kids get good grades because I'm a great parent, not because I pay them", etc. However, what matters to me is results and the reasonable means by which we pursue them.What to do with Our KidsCollege students should be paid for good grades because all of their hard work went towards their education. Everyone tells children to go to college but they never tell them the truth about the finacial aspect of it.
Uniforms are not good because it stops good from showing their sense of style. Uniform is also good because it stops kids from being bullied at school and prevent from getting in to any sorts of fights
Yes, children should go to school to receive a structured education that is essential for their development and future success. School provides opportunities for social interactions, life skills development, and academic growth that are important for their overall well-being.
Opinions by WikiAnswers contributors:I believe that students should get paid for doing well in school. We work hard to get good grades and accomplish goals for our districts. New York City even started a Pilot Program, where students in poorer communities get paid for doing well in school.Rewards are a great motivation, so in my opinion yes. Money might not be the best choice however. Reward your kids by telling them how proud you are and how good they did. And maybe add a little treat.
No because some kids turn to Athletic event bacause they are not very acedemic and they should not be told to be good at the one they just turned away from. They should just have good effort into thier work.
Yes I think they should.
That is a matter of opinion. In my mind they shouldn't, but some children respond to incentives such as that.
Yes! Because it make you feel good about yourself and then you want to good grades.
about your kids grades and behavior
No, because you have good hand writing because your steady but your not smart.
Money Bad grades Kids Time Work Apathy
Yes because better grades will help with the car insurance!
in higher grades there is more hard work
no but it helps if they suffer from injury and cannot compete, and if they don't earn enough whilst in the sport they can get a good job after In my personal opinion, I think that kids need good grades to play sports. If kids played really well in sports, but had terrible grades, they wouldn't do too well in real life. The only thing they could get a job in is sports, and if the kid doesn't make it into sports, they really can't make it into any other job because they didn't learn anything and got terrible grades in school. Plus, sport are 80% mental. If kids didn't get good grades, they wouldn't do too well in sports, either, because sports use mental abilities, which is 4/5ths of the game.
I think kids under 13 should not be allowed on Facebook because many kids aer getting poor grades. Children are always thinking about Facebook and not focusing on their work. Also many students may get into fights online and that may lead to cyber bullying. In conclusion kids should be atleast 13 years before getting a Facebook account. Even if kids are already 13 they still need supervision from parents or guardians. Facebook is a very serious matter.
