The response for VOA

Everyone in the society work hard for money. Your father, mother, friends and all of the people who work hard may get paid. Should students get paid to go to school? Should students get paid to work hard?

Many teachers might think punishments are more useful to push students to do things. Money is a reward for students so not all the teachers agree that. I think punishment and rewarding are both important for students but I don't think that money is a suitable thing for rewarding students. Rewarding can be other things instead of money such as candies, books or stationery.

School is a place for students to learn how to be a mature person to face the problem we may face in the future. If schools give money to students as rewarding, there's the same as teaching students that money is the most important thing in the world. The truth is money isn't the most important. I don't think teachers want to inculcate this ideas to students.

Some people think if students is self-control, that's not a problem to paid them. I agree with this idea. For the students who can really control themselves, this is surely not a problem. However, can you make sure that every students can control themselves?

Some people think paying money to students can increase their interest in learning. They hope paying students can push them to have good results. I disagree with this idea. For example, a student who already give all her effort to do something but she can't get good results. Is money really useful at that moment? For the students who don't have potential in learning, do money help them to increase the interest of learning?

Rewarding is some how useful for students because it can encourage to do better. I don't disagree teachers giving reward to students. The main thing is reward can be many thing. Either treats, stationary or even a merit point. Money is not the only reward for students. To ensure students develop good values, I think students shouldn't be paid for schools.
