25Would students do better if they got money for good marks? Roland Fryer, a professor of economics at Harvard University, wanted to see whether a financial incentive could motivate students. To find the answer, Fryer did an experiment with 18,000 students in the USA. Most of the participants came from poor homes and had trouble at school. The students were given different financial incentives to do well during the school year. Then, at the end of the year, they were given special tests.Fryer did different experiments in four cities. In New York and Chicago, students were given money for getting good marks in school tests during the year. Students in Washington, DC got money for doing well in tests, but they were also paid for improving the way they behaved. In Dallas, children received money for reading books.So, what were the results? In New York and Chicago there wasn’t any improvement in the special tests. It’s possible that for these students, determination to improve their marks wasn’t enough. Perhaps they needed someone to teach them how to study. In Dallas and Washington, however, the results were positive and students did well in the special tests. Why? Fryer hasn’t finished his experiment yet, but he believes the reason could be that these students had all received money for something they were able to control. In Dallas, students could control how many books they read and the Washington students could control their behaviour.While most children are happy to be paid for studying, there are many adults who disagree with Fryer’s methods. They say that these methods are not educational. Teachers complained that we were rewarding children for something they should be doing anyway, and parents said that when students stopped getting paid, they would stop studying. Although Fryer doesn’t disagree with them, he believes that sometimes you must be practical. “Kids should learn for the love of learning,” he says. “But they’re not.” According to Fryer, most adults want money for working hard, so why should children be different?
