One of the seven deadly flaws is that it can encourage
cheating, shortcuts, and unethical behavior.
This is very true some parents used to pay kids if they got good
grades. These students would cheat off
of classmates’ homework and cheat on tests so they got good grades even if they
did not maintain the knowledge they still got rewarded. As Jacque said students would hide notecards with
the formulas in their calculators in order to help their test grade. However, if carrots and sticks are used
properly as with Jacque’s student with the sticker example they can be
helpful. Students need to understand why
they are doing what they are doing it and how it will help them. At my observation today my teacher rewards
good behavior not how good the students work is done or how fast it is
done. This keeps order in the classroom,
which will in return help their work habits at school. I never thought of this before, but as I observed
I realized it really works!
