The idea is simple : why kids and teenagers don’t like studying ? Simply because they don’t see the incentive ! They don’t care how important it is to be educated, They never felt the harshness of the job market. All they care about is videogames, fitting in groups, and attracting the other sex.
But what if you tell them “If your grades are higher than 85%, you’re allowed to not go to school on Friday, thus having a 3day weekend (you still need to go the 4 other days) But everyone below 85% still needs to go and will be penalized if they miss attendance like usual”
it’s a motivation they can immediately understand, not a abstract “Do your homework caus education is important to prepare you for adult life and find a decent job” (which is true but most kids can’t understand that)
OBJECTIONS – “But where should the kids stay when the parents have to go to work Friday ?” – Let them play outside like good ol days
“But it’s gonna create a feeling of inequality between the smarter and dumber kids” – womp womp, Smarter kids shouldn’t be held down
“it’s gonna ruin the professor planning, and how kids are gonna learn if they skip a whole day ?” – Most kids learn reading the book or watching online resources anyway
