Hm, so about a week ago in my second hour class, there was this boy talking about how he receives money for getting all B's in school. He also mentioned that he gets 10 dollars for each b he received and that if he received an a, he would get 20 dollars for that one grade.
Now, seriously, parents have to bribe their kids nowadays to get them to get b's and a's in school? How piteous is this? Please share your opinions. |

QUOTE(sadolakced acid @ Jun 12 2005, 8:19 PM) welcome to real life. if you do a better job in real life, you get more money.  Amen. QUOTE(mipadi) The problem with that, is that it reinforces the attitude that a person should only do something good because they will get a reward for doing so (especially a monetary reward). It weakens the idea that sometimes you should just do something good because it's the right thing to do, even though you might not get rewarded. It makes people selfish, rather than selfless. There is a consequence/outcome for everything you do in life. Whether it is the personal satisfaction of a hard days' work or a couple extra ends in your pocket. Its a reward. Conversely, fail your classes, slack off in school and work at your local fast food joint. What is the outcome? Minimum wage and no future. You can still be a nice person, but you'll be a loser. Money is a necessary evil. So necessary, that its... GO[o]D. |
