You should really read this article http://lrs.ed.uiuc.edu/students/plato1/
Don't you think that if students received money for good grades that it would make them work harder? I know this whole concept is a little messed up, but we should be doing absolutely anything in our power to make students want to work harder and get better grades. And if paying them is the solution, then so be it.
I am for paying kids cash for good grades. The first question we need to ask ourselves though, is what is considered good enough grades to receive pay for? But I read an article called “Paying for Grades” on healthland.time.com that said if students get payed to have good grades, it will make them work all the more harder. It will also teach them an important lesson for when they are older that the better quality of work you do, the more money you will receive. I have always felt that students need a little more incentive to do well on their homework, and I believe this is just the thing!
I agree especially with the responsibility part. Most students will go on and have a career of their own. Homework teaches students responsibility and will help them in their future with their future jobs. I read in an article called Ages and Stages on healthychildren.org that when students get to fourth grade, they have develop the proper skills that they are capable of doing homework and capable of developing responsibility skills.
I am for having homework, but in reduced amounts. According to the article Does Homework Work on SIRS, it says that having homework at an early age helps young students develop better learning abilities and techniques. The article does however go on to mention that the amounts of homework some students receive is way too overboard. Studies have shown that too much homework can lead to depression, stress, and lack of physical activity. Students need to have homework so they can practice what they are learning. If they don’t practice what they learn, odds are they will forget what they learned. But kids still need to enjoy their youth, therefore, students should still have homework, but it smaller amounts.
