A new report says promising children money to pass exams does not help their exam grades. The report says parents may waste their money by using it to get their kids to study more. However, the promise of a trip could encourage students to try harder and do better at school. Scientists looked at how promises of money and tickets to shows affected students' studying and
learning. Over 10,000 pupils took part in the survey in 2014. There was an improvement in classwork and homework, but this did not result in better test scores(分数).
Lead scientist Dr. Simon Burgess thought the survey showed something important and interesting. He said it had not found something that really got students to work harder. He added that, "Clearly, some pupils have a lot of goals. They believe that education is a way of getting a brighter future, but there are kids who think that working hard doesn't make a difference." He said these children think exam success is "all in your genes(基因)" because of their family background.
Education expert Dr. Kevan Collins said good teachers were better than promises of money to get children to study, especially for children from poor families. He wrote, "What really makes the difference is how students are taught."
