Topic 3: Incentives at school

After watching the video "Incentives for Perfect Attendance," I realize our school uses incentives to get students to go to school, too. Some of the incentives school use are getting expelled, giving detention and incomplete credits, and sending students home. I think the stronger incentives for getting students to attend school are punishments. Students in PAS spent a lot of money to get educated. Getting expelled, detention, and incomplete credits are a waste of money. Also, parents won't be happy about it. Parents will punish you again. You are getting a double punishments if you did go to school. I go to school because of multiple incentives: Not to get expelled and to meet my friends. These incentives are very effective, because I haven't missed a school day so far in my high school years, even I'm sick. I think the goal of the schools in the video is not only to get people to school, but also to get people educated. The goal for both school in video and PAS is the same. I think the reason it is so different is that one is private and one is public. Private school is expensive, and public school is free.
