Kia Ora koutou,
I have been soo impressed by one of my students writing genre I had to post it up. This student has come from Kura Kaupapa Māori and this is her first year in a english mainstream environment a Yr 7 student .I have found a lovely site which helps students write and even helps them enjoy writing. Please read her wonderful writing about the topic Should students be paid if they get good grades?.
Writing Genre: Persuasive Texts, Debate, Critical Thinking
Paying students for good grades would encourage them to keep doing good in class. “When us students are paid for good grades we learn that working hard and making good choices does have its rewards. We will try to get better grades in the hopes of earning more money.
If teachers follow through with us, students will soon be able to buy important stuff including school supplies and materials for projects by ourselves. We might actually start to go to school and not skip class, by not skipping class and paying attention we will start to do better in school so we can earn money too.
We need to start learning how to use money responsibly. When us students get paid our parents can then start teaching us the ways to properly spend our money. This will help us get prepared for our future.
Giving money to us students with good grades and those in low-income families would encourage us to stay in school. A rigorous new study found that the school gets results: cash incentives help low-income students stay in school and get better grades,” says TIME. If the school paid us students for our good grades, we can then help our families by helping pay for our own stuff. Students would learn how to support ourselves so we can be successful in the future.
