Kids Shouldnt Be Paid to Get Good Grades

Outline
Therefore, Middle School Students should not be paid for good grades and behavior.
1. Kids shouldn’t be paid because they don't have the entitlement to the money.
A. A reason that we shouldn't pay students is that their parents pay for their tuition and many other aspects of the kid’s life and then they have to pay them to do well. That is not right and should not happen.
B. Also, school is a privilege as many kids around the world don't even have an education.
C. Finally, just because they get good grades and have good behavior does not change the quality of work. The kids that don’t get as much money could still do better in school than others because others are just clouded with greed and their overall concentration does not improve by a large margin by giving them bribes.
2. If we pay students there will also be internal conflict at school if money was being handed out.
A. For example, students may be able to use this to money to pay for drugs, alcohol, and for video games.
B. In addition, students who receive a lower or a higher amount of money from his parents than his peers might be ostracized from certain groups for being irregular and there will definitely be jealousy in everyone’s minds.
C. Lastly, bribing the kids to do better will not make them more competitive. They will only pay attention to the money and kids will not do extracurricular activities or competitions unless they are being paid for those things too.
3. In conclusion, the future of our country will be hurt if we paid students for getting good grades.
A. For instance, students won’t strive to be the best by themselves and what happens after college. Their parents learned things and didn't get paid but then their kids won’t learn the life lessons from working for something and then their kids will be impacted.
B. In addition, Kids should be rewarded by the satisfaction of getting good grades, not the money that they receive from their parents. It could be considered a form of bribery. Promising cash for good grades to children is essentially bribing kids into getting good grades and behaving. This is similar to a parent who buys a screaming toddler candy or a toy to make the stop crying.
C. Finally, In some cases the idea of a financial reward encouraged students and improved the attendance rates; however there was absolutely no increase in the quality of the students' work and their attitude at home. Psychologically, there is no proof whatsoever to prove that the idea of a reward has the potential to improve the kids performance on anything other than the most basic of skills.
Therefore, we should not pay middle school students to do well in school and get have good behavior.
