I belive that rewarding someone for doing a good thing is great, for getting good grades, or maybe reaching one of your goals. In the blog " Is payment for good grades legitimant motivation for this day and age" and it talked about giving children money for doing well in school. This will motivate the kids and make them want to do well but what happens if they just try to do good for the money and not themsleves. Maybe the parents or guardian of the child should pay him for his first good grade and then tell him/her that they will not be paying them for the next. If they do good on that one they arent in it for the money they are in it for themselves. I agree with the whole getting paid for money thing and I think I might try that in my house. It will motivate me to learn and then when I do good I'll get rewared. This relates to the classroom in a bunch of ways. One is that i will or anyone who is getting paid to do well will pay attention more if they didnt in the past. I know I would. Also kids would probebly study a lot more so they get paid. This relates to the world becuase im sure this doesnt happen just in the U.S. In other countries this getting paid for Hw probebly happens and the effects on the students are most likely the same. Most kids think and act in the same way.

"While money (or even the promise of acceptance into a 'good college') may offer
a short-term incentive and even be fair game in some settings, I wonder if we
would be better served to invest our energies and finances in re-imagining the
original value proposition that engendered school to society in the first
place."
