Why Should We Not Pay Students for Good Grades?

If we try to make a society who thinks that studying should be paid, as if it is work, hence no fun, then yes we can pay each students a certain amount of money based on their performance. But we we want a society who loves to learn, and would learn something for the sake of learning, then we'd better not associate money, or work to studying at school.

There other ways money could be used to help lower drop out rates, and to motivate kids at school:

• The money would better be used to pay teachers' training, who would then learn the skills to show that learning is exciting. Student would in turn have better chance to love to learn.
• The money could also be used to increase the salary for teachers, therefore attracting higher educated individuals to want to be teachers.
• The money could also be used to give more unemployment benefits to unemployed professionals who are willing to give their time to help teach school kids from their experience.
• And how about giving tax breaks to corporations who allow a certain number of their employees to use their work hours to go to schools to tell stories about what their schools have taught them, and how that helped them to get to where they are in their profession.
