Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents should give school-age children money as a reward for getting a high mark (grade) in school.
In this day and age, increasing number of people would like to pay more attention to their children's education. In order to let them get a higher mark in school, some parents give their children money as a reward. On the contrary, others hold an opposite opinion; they regard this action as a misleading education for students. I prefer the second view and think that parents should not give school-age children money as a reward for getting a high mark in school.
Admittedly, maybe this action will stimulate students' passion of learning in some degree. In a short term students would like to take a lot of time to study and prepare examinations carefully in order to get a high mark and the reward. Apparently, maybe you can see your children become harder than before. But for a long term, you will find fatal defects of this action.
Firstly, it will mislead students and make them form a wrong objective, even let them become greedy. For instance, when I was in my university, I took the private teacher as a part time job in my spare time. I remember there was a boy who I taught; his father always gave him 200 Yuan as a reward when he got a high mark, and besides, if his rank rose, he could get additional 100 Yuan. At the beginning, this way was useful for this boy, and he got twice high marks continuously, but then he asked his father to raise the reward. Later, this reward became higher and higher. When his father recognized that he was wrong. Everything was too late, because once he put forward that he would cut this reward, the boy would threaten his father that he would stop studying and deny attending the exam. Thus, giving money to students as a reward is not a wise choice.
Besides, this action also will kill students' curiosities. If parents just reward their children when they get a high mark, they will let students think that the score is the most important thing in their study. They will focus on the examination, but do not think why do they study and which subject is attractive to them. Even some of them loose the curiosities for new knowledge. Thus, it's not hard to imagine that once they leave school and enter to the society, they would find they has lost their passion for new things.
From what has been discussed above, giving school-age children money as a reward for getting a high mark in school not only cannot stimulate students to study harder for a long time, but also can cause some adverse effects to children. Thus, we can safely draw the conclusion that parents should not encourage their children through this way.
