Your Reaction to the Idea of Paying Students (2/2)

Teresa Finamore wrote: "I am an Italian teacher of math and science for students from eleven to fourteen. I think that it is wrong to pay students. Each student has to understand that going to school, he gets a wonderful opportunity to live better in the future and also in the present."

Nelly Constant in France wonders, if young people get paid for studying, what will they expect from a job -- a rocket to the moon? Sergio Fernandes from Brazil says paying students is not realistic. But Camillus Chiemela, a Nigerian living in Germany, feels it will help to improve the education system. Students' expectations will be much higher.

Naval from Russia also says yes to the idea: "We should at least get something for our time wasted. Because in my country students pay money to go to school or get good grades from teachers."

And Lucy Ding from China says most Chinese students work hard for two reasons: their parents' expectations and pressure from teachers. She says getting rewards will become a custom that will get students to work hard for themselves, for the things they hope to get.

Teresa Finamore写到："我是意大利一名教师，教11至14岁学生的数学与科学。我认为给学生奖金是错误的。每个学生都应该明白，通过上学，他们可以获得在未来以及当下更好生活的绝佳机会。"

法国的Nelly Constant想知道，如果年轻人因学习而获得金钱，那么从工作中他们期望获得什么呢？一艘飞往月球的飞船？来自巴西的Sergio Fernandes说给学生奖金是不现实的。但是现居德国的尼日利亚人Camillus Chiemela认为，这有助于改善教育系统。学生的期望值将会更高。

俄罗斯的Naval也对这个主意表示赞同。"我们至少应该从我们所花费的时间中得到些什么。因为在我们国家，学生需要为上学或者为老师给予的好分数花钱。"

中国的丁露西谈到许多中国学生努力学习的两个原因：他们父母的期望和来自老师的压力。她说获得奖赏将成为一种习惯，这使学生为获得想要的东西而努力为自己而学。
