Inciting children somehow to study better is important in order to spur them to get better scores. Regardless of the methods of remuneration, it would serve as a fruitful tool in child's education whence it leads to child’s development with no side effects. Although some may believe that paying some cash to children is a good incentive to motivate them to acquire better scores, I personally believe that it is not an appropriate way to reward them. Here are some reasons as follows.
To start with, children cannot use cash in a proper way and it may result in delinquency. School age children are not mature enough to know how to spend their money appropriately. In some cases, they might use it not only in an improper way, but also in a wrong way. Unfortunately, there are a lot of criminals out there, who are stealthy looking for some opportunities to abuse children's innocence and make money out of it. For instance, in my country, Iran, which

Children should learn to not to expect to get a reward when they are doing a good deed. In reality, there are so many other cases that society would not pay individuals rewards when they do something correctly. For example, supposedly a righteous person who finds a bag full of money and he delivers it to police office. Thence, this person would not get any reward for this. Sometimes there would not be an appreciation even in words. Expectedly, Children who get accustomed to get reward for their good deeds they would not understand this. Therefore, there would be a confliction between what they have learned and what in reality happens. Accordingly, this may discourage them to continue behave honestly and with fidelity. Thereafter this shows children should not be paid in cash and right away when they do something precious, but also the can be praised indirectly to keep them on right track of
The practice of offering incentives for charitable acts is very common because it is an effective way to get people to donate time and/or money. Although I grant that the idea that incentives are morally wrong because people are acting out of self interest rather than out of wanting to do the right thing, I still maintain my view that self interest is a natural part of being a human and it is inevitable that we will take into consideration how things will benefit ourselves as well as others. The exchange of donations for grades or any other kind of reward is what I may argue ethically and morally correct because humans are not only motivated to do good, but we are also acting in good faith by taking the incentives because normally they are minimal in comparison to the donation they are making so the result is still greatly an act of kindness.
Children trust their parents, sometimes they do not listen or do what they are told, but eventually they will do what their parents do. Kids learn when we show them kindness, responsibility, generosity, honesty, and compassion. This can be accomplished by showing these in action every day. Parents typically don’t notice that their child is watching what they do and say, that they have an impact on their child’s
They celebrated with a spaghetti dinner.” (p. 2)This evidence indicates that a reward at the end could teach students to dedicate themselves to something and stick with it as well as work hard. These skills could stick for some students and could carry over into school work and daily life. A simple reward at the end also can provide motivation for the kids. Some might say that providing a reward is corrupting the motives and morals of the participating students, but it is still teaching the kids valuable
Some parents reward their child for the outstanding grades on their report card; nowadays schools have programs which reward the students instead of the parents. The Cash for Grades Program is a program which rewards cash incentives to all hard-working students in the school system. This program is “jointly funded by public money and private donations” (“Cash for Grades”). People from the community or successful companies financially support this program because they understand the role of education in a child’s life, even if it will cost them to donate money for the children. “At each evaluation, they can earn $50 for every A they receive, $35 for each B and $20 for every C” (“Cash for Grades”). The goal of the program is to reach out and help children from all social classes, either by cash or motivation. Many programs like the Cash for Grades Program such as Gr...
...orce the good behaviour with rewards and decrease the likelihood of negative behaviour being repeated. The structured discipline of both parents and teachers help the child to appreciate that good behaviour is much more beneficial than bad behaviour but without this structure in one or both of these settings, could lead to the child not understanding, leading to it being much more difficult to correct behaviour that isn't wanted without resorting to drastic measures of physical or psychological punishment that would do more harm than good. Further research into helping the children in these sort of circumstances would be much more beneficial to the topic of child behaviour and punishment.
...punishment in this article would be when the child moves out and the parent doesn’t help them but then again it is also helping the child grow up. Also another punishment was when the child dropped the bag of groceries his mom then made him start taking out trash and other things. Getting something that the child wants is rewarding them.
Children are not mature enough to make responsible and well-processed decisions. They are not allowed to drink, drive and any legal contract they sign would be considered invalid. It just comes to show that society has decided that a child’s maturity level are not equivalent to an adult. Research claims that “ Children lack the prefrontal cortex, the lobe of the brain that helps with reasoning and judgment.” So why
This reinforcement can be as simple as praising students on a job well done. However, classroom teachers should “incorporate at least one reward system in daily instructional routine” (Chris McEvoy, 2011-12, slide 5). Rewards systems provide incentive for students to do their best and practice core values. Teachers should also be active in the supervision of their classroom by making themselves accessible to students, monitoring students during independent working times, and checking in with students frequently. Consequences must be enforced in a manner that is “consistent and fair.”
In this paper I will be discussing the information I have learned from the article “From Positive Reinforcement to Positive Behaviors”, by Ellen A. Sigler and Shirley Aamidor. The authors stress the importance of positive reinforcement. The belief is that teachers and adults should be rewarding appropriate behaviors and ignoring the inappropriate ones. The authors’ beliefs are expressed by answering the following questions: Why use positive reinforcement?, Are we judging children’s behaviors?, Why do children behave in a certain way?, Do we teach children what to feel?, Does positive reinforcement really work?, and How does positive reinforcement work?. The following work is a summary of "Positive Reinforcement to Positive Behaviors" with my thoughts and reflection of the work in the end.
If you teach them to do chores to earn money they will get a habit of doing it to get money every single time they do
Some people believe paying children for helping out around the house is redundant. While most children are assigned certain chores daily, weekly, even monthly, these chores should be done whether a child gets paid an allowance or not. Therefore, giving children their own spending money and calling it an allowance could possibly affect the way they perform chores. This could be a good or bad thing. The child may think that if they do not feel like doing their chores they do not have to, and the consequences will be that they will not get an allowance. When a parent sets the record straight, a child may become rebellious and not perform the task the way he should. However, the circumstances could take a turn in the opposite direction, and a...
I do not believe, however, in using rewards like stickers or stars, A’s or praise. To quote Alphie Kohn, "When rewards stop, people usually return to the way they acted before." I want my students to be intrinsically motivated and giving out rewards inhibits intrinsic motivation. I want my students to know it is okay to make mistakes and take risks in the classroom. I want to encourage my students by telling them specific feedback on an assignment rather than a star and a "good job." I don’t want them to become dependent on my praise. I want them to be successful learners.
In conclusion, students should be paid to do well in school because it has many benefits to the student. Those benefits include motivation to get good grades, the money would help the student financially, and the student would learn how to manage their money more effectively. School is a big part of every person’s life, so it should be more rewarding to the
Today I am going to be telling you why kids should have to work to get an allowance. I can see why some people might have different thoughts about this topic. But I will be telling you why my choice has the best benefits.
I agree the reward system, establishing rules, and monitoring events are excellent ways to teach responsibility and instill moral values. I think a good teacher can incorporate all different “beliefs” and identify what works and what doesn’t. The lessons students learn in kindergarten are basic skills and remain with them for the rest of their lives.
