All students must pass the teachers class in order for them to receive their incentives, so teachers are doing whatever it takes to allow their students to pass, even if it means cheating for their students. Research was conducted on the tests, and suspicious groups of correct answers were found. A retest was administered to the students to determine whether or not they really knew the answers, and the teachers who were found to be cheaters were terminated. Another research study was on the scores of top Sumo
Later, though, after the student has cheated, there is a sense of ease and resolution to the situation, and this weakens her argument, making the issue of cheating seem almost irrelevant or benign. The reader also notices Wenke’s use of the personal pronoun “you” throughout the scenario in the first paragraph, suggesting that she is aiming the argument at high school and college students. It’s evident that the tone of this piece shifts, but the author begins with a quizzical tone and asks many questions throughout her argument. “If my parents’ generation had such high morals and wouldn’t cheat, wouldn’t they teach their children the same?” (Wenke, Page 1) She then moves to a more contemplative tone in the latter part of the piece, explaining the possible effects of cheating on our society today. She points out that “this attitude will not stop in the classroom, but will carry on into the business world… [the students who cheat] are in turn the ones who will
Thus the economic incentive to perform actions can be interpreted through several dimensions and perspectives. Levitt maintains that economists love incentives because they believe that incentives can fix just about any problem. He lists many incentives we react to during life, and what incentives urge people to do the right thing rather than the wrong thing. He also states that incentives “must be appropriate to be effective.” Lastly, Levitt discusses his theory that everyone cheats, in their own unique way. Many people try to find a way to beat the system, and spend their time thinking of ways of “getting more for less.” He discusses how this relates to education and testing, specifically how it might influence teachers to cheat to get a raise or keep their job.
They embark upon a seemingly innocent classroom experiment, which develops into a problem somewhat like that in Nazi Germany. The novel demonstrates how power corrupts and how relationships can easily be torn apart when ones individuality is lost. Morton Rhue also examines the links between the class and Nazi Germany. Throughout the wave, the author explains how the students become obsessed with their experimental movement , and carry out its salutes, chants, and symbols everywhere just like the Nazi’s did in the time of the holocaust. ‘Just remember that the popular thing is not always the right thing’ (54).The wave demonstrates several examples of the power of peer pressure and the harm it can cause.

When children are young teachers use sticker that say “great job,” “excellent,” or “way to go”, the teachers also use gold star stickers for good behavior. This of course changes with older student usually just positive statements like “you are doing great” or “you are really good at this”. The article also talked about a study that said praiseing student as smart may casue them to lax in doing their homework so we should praise their efforts inteads of their knowledge. It also states that this kind of reinforcement is not always good and negative reinforcement is not always bad. “ The key is what kind of behavior increases when these reinforcers are applied” states Charles H. Wolfgang.
(Cherry, What is Positive Punishment?, 2013) Parents use positive punishment quite often. Their children start fighting with their siblings and the parent grounds them. The grounding is a positive punishment because the children are receiving something unpleasant for fighting. An employer may cut hours on the schedule because the employee continues to leave work early. A shorter check is the positive punishment.
This may make them grow into caretakers who are a little more aggressive when it comes to such activities that they may have missed out on. Acocella writes about how normal it is to know parents nowadays who more or less spoil their kids into adulthood. Spoiling though isn’t the only aspect of over parenting. Anxieties about the child’s well-being, and the extreme pressure to achieve from a young age are two other factors. The writer cites many different authors who have written books slandering this new type of “invasive parenting.” Acocella mentions an editor at Psychology Today, Hara Estroff Marano, who speaks about a company that (for a fairly steep price) will send parents DVDs of Mozart and Beethoven classics set to stimulating videos.
Kids are highly influential especially at a young age. A child who sees a father abusing his mother might grow up and find it acceptable to beat on his own wife and kids, alas the cycle continues. Society also play a very big part in this, we now see and accept divorce and broken families as a new normal. Since many fathers generally are not the major caretakers of their kids after a divorce, bad feeling are formed with the kids. These negative feelings are due to dads not regularly seeing and interacting with their kids.
Youth of this generation is different from the generation of our parents. A lot of articles say that it’s what you called the “Generation Gap” wherein parents and their children can’t understand each other because of the new things in the world that sometimes parents scolds their children. They sometimes have misunderstanding and sometimes children end up as rebels because their wants and desires are deprived. The technology and other forms of media are useful but if you overused, it would end up to a terrible situation that you won’t expect. If you’ve met Sir Bon, well he’s the Rizal teacher of the Sophomore Education students for this semester; he mentioned a wonderful quotation last week.
