Good day, amazing people of hive block chain. Welcome back to my blog. This is another edition in the #hivelearners community. Do you think that cash should be given to a student each time he or she does well in school?
Education is key, and power I love people who have a zeal for education. Anytime I come across those people, I always like to appreciate them. I respect people who take their education so seriously, especially special secondary school students.
Education is not easy at all; it comes with so many challenges. Education plays a very vital role in our lives; it guides the things of life for
I am totally against the idea of giving a student money for doing well in school. There are so many ways to show a child that you appreciate their effort, but gifting them cash any time they perform well in school is not cool with me. At first, you may think you are doing the right thing, but along the way, you will realize that you didn’t do well for that child.
You may see that gifting them money is a way to motivate them. You are doing it all wrong. Have you ever asked yourself if, if I stop giving this child money for performing well, will he or she still take her studies seriously? I am not saying you should not gift your child money for doing well, but the ideal of money is not cool with it.
One thing about kids is that if you've got something on your mind, they'll try their best to always come out the best. The very day you stop gifting that child money, he or she will not take their studies seriously again.
For me, I see no reason why a child should be rewarded with cash for academic brilliance. My mom will always tell me if you do well, you did it for yourself. So if a child is brilliant, reward her with cash. Everything she or he did well is not cool for me.
One thing about children is that if you start gifting them the moment you stop, they will not take their studies seriously because they see no reason to study. The thing that attacked them to study is no longer there, so they will lack concentration in their studies.
As a parent who is gifting her child money, have you ever sat down and asked yourself, Am I really doing the right thing for this child or am I killing this child? Have you ever called the child and asked him or her what they were doing with the cash gift?
Seriously, I pity those parents who gift that child money for doing well because, in the long run, they will regret their actions.
Dangers of gifting your child money for academic performance
The child will have a love for money.
Such a child is not studying because of the need to study because of the money.
It will kill the child's zeal for studying.You have corrupted such a child. A child like that can even bribe their teacher to make sure he or she keep coming out the best.
Instead of gifting your child money, buy them books and take them out as a means of appreciating their academic brilliance. Make it clear to them that they should not expect something every time they do well in their academics. With this statement, such a child is not studying for the gift; he or she is studying because he or she realizes the need for education.
This is my response to the weekly prompt #hl-w118e2.
