Incentives aren't fun by Christopher

In all schools, some kids don't want to learn. They don't want to learn because they don't have any fun. That is why schools have incentives. Incentives are fun events for kids to have fun so they get excited about learning. But about 19% of kids don't want to go to incentives and about 30% of kids don’t care about incentives because they don't have interesting activities. So they don't try to do their best at school.

What the schools should do to make it more fun is to let the kids vote for the activities they want to do. The activities that the school's or teachers' plan might not be what the kids want to do. An example of this is the activities for the Incentive is a movie that some kids think is boring and would like to play board games. That is why they should have a list of activities the kids could do and let the kids decide what to do. If the schools or teachers are having trouble coming up with ideas, they should ask the student what activities they want to do, like most kids like to gust hand out with friends or eat snacks.

Suppose on the first incentive some kids didn't go to the incentive for some reason and their best friends went. Then the next day those kids’ friends tell them that incentives aren't fun. So those kids don't want to go to the next incentive and try not to get in so that affects their grade.


Also when people go to incentives there are kids that miss behavior and run the incentive. Like a group of friends are play in a board game and some kids are running around the room when the teacher isn't looking. Then one bumps onto the board and ruins the game. So the teacher should have more than one teacher in the room so as to keep the room from destroying itself.

So students should be able to vote for several reasons. So that they get excited about learning and it helps keep their grade up. Also there should be at least 2 or more teachers in the room so that the room stays the some. So that is what we should change in incentives.
