Some of you, especially those who read and reviewed Gatto's book, questioned whether incentives and bribes actually negatively impact learning. Well, in the April 19 edition of TIME (see: http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1978589,00.html)the author suggests that bribing kids, if done correctly (what?!), can actually improve learning. So there..... take that John Gatto, Alfie Kohn, Barry Schwartz and all of those others out there who don't have a grip on the "real world" and what that means for teaching students.
Anyhow, judge for yourself; read "Should Schools Bribe Kids" and see if you agree that we just need to come up with some financial buyout plans for students, master contracts, and other "get paid to learn" strategic plans.
