Topic 3: Incentives to Attend School

        The video “Incentives for Perfect Attendance,” use incentives to make students attend to school. This is because some students rather go to work and get money than going to school. The school decide to give them laptop and car if students attend to school. The disincentive is that the students are living in a pool family, so they rather go earn money for their family instead of going to school. I think that punishments are stronger incentives compare to reward because people might not want the reward because they either don’t want it or don’t need it. However, most people don’t want to get punish, therefore punishment are mush efficient.

        In PAS, we use punishment more than reward. For example, the lock out policy and the punishment for speaking Chinese are all punishments. The incentive in our school is that if you work hard in the school, you can go to a better college. However, if you don’t work hard in the school, it’s possible that you may get expel from the school. These incentives are effective and students change because of the incentive. For example, there are less people who are late after the lock out policy. The goal in the video is to make sure that all students are attending the school which is one of the goals of our school as well. The incentives that are use in the video are mostly reward. However in PAS, the incentives are mostly punishments.
