What is perfection?
Perfection is what we consider as a condition where we feel free of problems. There are some facts or myths that we take them as ways to determine if something is perfect or not. When there is not mistakes means that is perfect or can become something boring. I think that is never enough to determine if something as perfect. To begin with, related with an important topic which is education in my opinion there are not perfect kids. Society is a term used to divide kids in groups, what really makes them perfect is who they are and what they can do. In school to measure a student's success is look around their final grades, tests scores, class participation, collaboration, and a good time management. |
It's a good question, what can be consider important when someone is trying to make incentives? To start with, incentives are things that motivates or encourages one to do something. For some kids this is very important that's why many teachers or even parents make some incentives for their kids to do better at school. One important thing that should be consider is what they want or even what is something that can motive them; I think before putting it in practices incentives must be evaluated to see if there are very bad consequences. Then you should consider as many option as you can and choose the one you think would have better results. Using money as an incentive can have different results or even kids can find other way to get it instead of doing something they don't like. A punishment is not good because that bring more problems and can cause a bad behavior on those kids. The reality is that everyone cares about education, the problem is not everyone has the same ability to be successful, some kids decide to start working just for not doing an effort. What school should do to challenge them is to create different activities where they can get involved, finding a way to implement new courses that they will be interesting on it.
I am an student at T.C. Williams High School and in my opinion if I have to change something about school that would be to build a better environment for everyone where we can feel comfortable in our education place. As I said before paying them it seems an negative incentive because is a motivation with an interest between. Students must learn that doing their best always ends in success and bring with it self-satisfaction. In college you don't get pay is vice versa you pay them, it is important to learn how to manage work before facing the most challenge topic which is high education. |
I think is better to focus on both incentives positives and negatives, even though the word negative sounds scary could have some positives effects. A good topic at school is competition, competition is like a contest for a price which price motivates you to try to win. Competition can have some positive effect such as trying their best, self-satisfaction, skills practice, and other. On the other hand, nothing is perfect and there are some negative effects about competition like fights, depression, and loss of confidence. I would like competition to be fair because some time people have more advantages than other and that is something that ends having negative effects on individuals. Everyone if free and have the right to decide what is best for them people who doesn't even what to try is because of fairness or low self-esteem.
