Should Children Get Paid When They Get Good Test Scores

Everyone does their job. Construction workers construct, teachers teach, and judges judge. Students learn. And if everyone works- whether it be in an office or in a school- why not pay students? Well, that's actually a bad idea. Paying students for their grades like you pay an employee is a bad idea in the long run.

    Why do almost all students dread school? Though the answer may differ between different people, the main reason why most students dread school is because we have to go to school almost everyday and work, receiving no reward. There is nothing to look forward to in school and though the idea may sound absurd, students should get paid for good grades. School is work, it’s difficult and it takes up our entire day, filling the rest of our free time with homework or topics to study. If we got paid for doing good in school, then we would be encouraged to keep up the hard work and we would put more effort in school. Meaning that the next generation of adults would be well educated and would benefit society in many ways. Getting paid for good grades would also help us see the responsibility that comes with money. It would also help prepare us for life after school because we would know how to spend our money wisely, so in other words, students should get paid for good grades because school is work, we would be more encouraged to be diligent and we would learn the responsibility that comes with money.

Students should get paid to study, to have good grades, and to have good work habits so that they become better students, more motivated and therefore are more successful when they enter the workforce as adults. Many people believe this is the formula for success. Get paid for the good grade, right? There are three compelling reasons why students should be paid to go to school: going to school is essentially a full time job so students should be paid; money is a strong motivator, especially for kids; and it’s good for the economy to have future workers who are motivated by money to do an excellent job. After discussing these three points, it will be hard to dispute the fact that paying students to go to school and get good grades is a good thing and has positive results.

Kids do not always focus on their studies, however, having excellent grades is important. Not only will paying a kid for their grades motivate them, but also make them feel pleased with themselves. I think kids should get paid for their good grades, it will be very helpful to kids in the

Do you think secondary kids should get paid for going to school. I think they should because they could save it for college. Almost 62 percent of high school students can’t afford to go to college. If they got paid they would keep up their grades so they could get extra money. But you. Also have to be careful because they may use it for drugs or alcohol.

Kids should not get paid for chores because they will think they will get paid for chores as an adult. I can prove this because in the article “Should Kids get Paid to do Chores?” on page 27 the mom says, “And I would be a millionaire if I got paid every time I did the laundry or made lasagna or drove you and your brothers to school.” Another

Do you think kids should get payed for doing chores. Chores are something you shouldn't have to be payed for. You shouldn't have to get payed to do something for your parents, or to help make sure the house is organized. If you always get payed, you will always expect to get an award for something that you are asked to do. Your parents pay for your after school activities, and you might not be able to do them if you get payed all of the time. You could also be clever and "you might decide that taking a week of chores is worth losing a week of allowance" according to Scope scholastic.Com.

The general argument made by the author Arianna Prothero in her work ‘Does Paying Kids to Do Well in School Actually Work’ is that paying students for grades only works for students who are already doing well within their classes. Throughout the article, the author was appearing to be neutral about the topic. Prothero uses the statement “the effects are small if even there at all” to emphasize the point about the incentive only working for students who are almost there. These pupils are the students who only need to put in a small amount of work and effort to achieve this reward.

Although she has many good points, I disagree. Students should not get paid to have good grades and to stay in school. I do believe that students should get good grades and stay in school, but should not receive payment for something most students are already forced to do. Let's face it, what student, on the brink of dropping out, is going to stay in school just to earn ten measly dollars. Some say only students who acquire good grades should receive payment. So with that taken into account, there are many questions that need to be asked, such as what grade point average is considered to be good, how much will students be getting paid for this certain grade point average, how will students get paid, cash, check, debit card, lunch money, and the list just continues on. A study conducted by Harvard Crimson showed that although when students were provided financial incentives to score well on tests, the students being paid actually did not do any better than the students

The general argument made by author Arianna Prothero in her work, Does Paying Kids To Do Well In School Actually Work? Adults have used bribes or rewards on children for many years to attempt to convince children to try harder in school and even pay children when they do good in school. More specifically, Arianna Prothero argues that educators could leverage students to keep doing good in school by giving them gift cards or scholarship money and even in some cases cold hard cash. She writes, “if you’re miles away from it, no matter how much effort you put in, the odds of reaching are still low, so why bother?”

Would students be able to improve their grades if they were getting paid? Money is a great reward for most students and it could possibly have a long term effect on students. They are always wanting their grades to be improved and then they would have more of a reason to study for test and quizzes if they were getting paid do go to school. Students would be focused at school if their was money to be made by going to school. Teachers would also not be stopping as often because of students getting of track. I believe students would improve their grades if they were getting paid because, Money could have a long term effect, and more student could need a little more motivation

Kids should get paid for chores because they are hard work and they take all of your playing time outside and they are boring and they are dumb and they are not cool and there is no kids in the world that would want to do chores. Cause chores are so boring. Because they are so dumb and they are just school they both are so dumb and they are no fun and there is nobody in the and the only ones that like to do chores are nerds and different kinds of people and not smart people and the ones who do not know anything osr can do anything at all.

After school sports might be fun, but it is not helping the students at all. The games themselves might reduce stress levels; but it has been shown that schools tend to spend more on the fields and the bleachers then should actually be spent. A school was almost shut down because of the academic failures, but somehow still had equipment to play games. Therefore, schools should get rid of after school sports because they spend too much money on them, America is lacking academily compared to other countries, and they pay too much attention to the games.

In the article, “Why You Shouldn’t Pay Children for Grades,” Amy McCready details her argument against children receiving money as a reward for good grades. Her main point is expressed in her article as a sentence: “But no matter how much we want it to, money can’t buy smarts, motivation, or school success.” She is expressing her idea that paying kids will not genuinely help them. Within the article, McCready expresses her dislike of parents using payment to attempt to encourage student achievement. Her points include her belief that paying children won’t maintain high grades because kids lose interest and excitement over time. She also believes that payment for grades creates a negative attitude within the children and invoke a sense of entitlement.

Have you ever wondered how it would be if teachers got paid due to how students learn? Well, I think they should be paid due to how much students learn. I am sure everyone will have their own opinion, but my opinion is that they should get paid. This is the question I am wondering and I really want to know how it would be. This is my opinion on the topic and I have many reasons why teachers should get paid. I hope you agree with what I wrote and also I hope you agree with my reasons too. They will not be the same reason but I think these reasons make sense to my topic.
