Assignment:

In cities across America, some public school systems are rewarding students for perfect attendance by giving them money, shopping sprees, laptops, video games and even a chance to win a car in a raffle. There was also an article in Time magazine (April 2010) titled "Should we bribe children to do well at school?" Please read it

Have you or someone you know personally experienced this type of reward system at school? If you have, then what kinds of rewards did you receive? Do you think it works? In other words, is this a "good investment" in the future academic promise of our children and teenagers? If you agree with this system, why? If you do not agree, why not? You can mention what you have observed in others (i.e., friends, peers, relatives) as well.
