Well, I heard a great quote about that:<br />What did Book-It create? A bunch of fat kids who hate to read!<br />I think rewards are disrespectful and manipulative. I have more faith in kids than that!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07754245600501034572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707703066300530859.post-56939046810615834982010-09-09T10:09:24.002-06:002010-09-09T10:09:24.002-06:00@Nadine: If a kid hates reading, some teachers wil...@Nadine: If a kid hates reading, some teachers will bribe them with food, prizes or money in an attempt to get them to like reading. The teachers hope might be to ween the kid off the bribery because they would learn to love reading because it was fun. (This tends not to work, but that doesn't stop some adults from trying).<br /><br />Some schools have parent-teacher interviews or meet the teacher events, so they bribe kids with goodies to get them to come. Implicitly, this tells the kids and parents that showing up to discuss education is not something you would really want to do unless you could personally gain in some other way. The hope being that perhaps you could withdraw the goodies once the parents and the kids show up to these events and see them as valuable.<br /><br />Does this help?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15047405950514440042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707703066300530859.post-85486108313617371992010-09-09T08:21:03.555-06:002010-09-09T08:21:03.555-06:00I need a concrete example of bait and switch at wo...I need a concrete example of bait and switch at work in the school because right now I don't know what you're talking about.Nadine Lumleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591663475427502169noreply@blogger.com
