你是否同意下述观点:家长应该给上学的孩子钱来奖励他们在学校取得的高分。
指导
题目关于家庭教育,讨论的是钱能否作为奖励孩子的重要手段。一般来说,考试是用来检验学生阶段性学习效果的重要手段,考试成绩作为一个客观结果而存在,具有偶然性。用钱来奖励学生取得的好成绩,一方面有可能促进学生再接再厉,另一方面也有可能导致学生为了获取金钱而故意作弊以获得高分的恶果。所以,在分析这个题目的时候应该注意三个问题:1、考试的作用和考试成绩的重要性;2、把钱和考试成绩结合,会带来哪些积极和消极影响;3、其他的奖励学生取得好成绩的方法有哪些。
1. 请结合时代环境,谈谈钱在这个社会的重要作用以及人们的金钱观?
回答:
钱在这个社会可以买到很多东西,地位可以说是非常重要。现在很多人都是很注重物质生活(material life)所以对钱很看重,很多女人的择偶标准就是男人要有钱。这是一种扭曲的金钱观。
2. 学生参加考试的重要作用是什么呢?请结合实际简述。
回答:
学生参加考试是为了检验自己的学习水平,能从考卷看到是否学到的东西都掌握了,还有那些没有熟练掌握。自己的各个学科互相比较,是否有相对薄弱的科目。与其他同学相比,自己的水平如何。从这些可以得到自己学习的状况,从而可以改变学习计划,更高效的学习。
3. 请结合实际简述,金钱是如何发挥它的激励作用的?
回答:
孩子可以用钱买到自己想要的东西。这样孩子为了自己想要的东西就会努力学习去争取。比如一个孩子想买星球大战里的光剑,那么他就会努力学习,获得一个非常好的分数去拿到钱买到这把光剑。
4. 有人说,题目中的方法会增加孩子们学习的功利性,不利于孩子的健康成长,你是否赞同?请结合实际简述你的理由。
回答:
我赞同,我认为这种方法不是很好。
5. 除了金钱的奖励方法,你认为还有哪些方法能够有效地奖励孩子们在学校的优异表现?请结合实际简述。
回答:
可以把金钱换成物质,比如说一个孩子想买一辆BMX,而且得到了较好的成绩,那就可以直接买给他。又或者可以奖励一次出去旅行的机会,或者吃一顿大餐。

nowadays,parents use various ways in order to encourage their child study hard.they even use money as a price for their high score on academic.as far as i am concerned.Parents shouldn't give school-age children money as an award for their high grade they get in school.
First,use money to tempt student to study hard may imply the money's importance.It shouldn't be encouraged.act like this may indicate higher scores equals to more money to children,just as a price for the grade.Children may has something they dreamed of but can't afford to buy it.For example,a child Tom desired a light saber then he study hard to earn it.However,next time he may want a LEGO toys or video games,but each time he got is money.Probably he would be more and more attracted to money. as for school-age children,it is hard for them to distinguish what is right or what is wrong.So Heavy exposure to money may led them value money excessively.It would exerts negative influence upon them.
Secondly,money can stimulate students behave improperly.students are likely to cheat in the exam in order to get money from their parents.the main purpose of exam is to test how well the students study recently.But if students value their sores excessively,It is possible for them to cheat.Gradually,they will find cheating is easy and will develop an dishonest character.In addition,overmuch money beyond their needs can be killing.Once i saw a movie about juvenile crime,the main character in the movie starts his first crime by buying marijuana.From a certain angle,it is his mom who gave him an excess of money that lead him to delinquency.Maybe child just need a little money to buy a yo-yo,but got 50$ from parents unexpectedly.it would confuse him what to do with the rest.
Last but not least,to my point of view,this method could be altered to replace the money by something children wanted.this alternative could not only avoid the problem of redundant money and improper view on money.Moreover,a better choice is a prize of a nice trip. A pleasant trip would broaden children's horizon and let them know more about the huge world.My mom used to encourage me to study hard by this way and it works well.My grade was steady around top students and i also have been to many fantastic spot.It become an important part of my childhood.
Although money can impulse students to study hard,it could also do harm to them in various ways.and the disadvantages are much more than advantages.So i oppose the ideas that money should be given for a better grades in school.
