Topic 3: Incentives to Attend School


Schools attract students by giving them chances toward success. If the student attend the school everyday, they could possibly perform better in schools and then have a good grade. Eventually they could go to a good college. Education is a building-up process. Every section is important in order to reach success. That is how schools attract students. On the other hand, students might have other high paying jobs that make the marginal cost of coming to school become high. That could let the students not come to school. However, I think the rewards are the more effective ways than the punishment. Because I think getting a good college is a better way to success than anything. The money the student earned after graduate from a good college could be way much than the money that earned while skipping schools.         

Just like normal schools offered, I attend PAS because I want to have a good college in US. Therefore, I have great possibilities to achieve success. I think the incentives offered to me is very effective. I fight full-heartedly for this good chance. Many students in PAS have the same incentive like that of me. Moreover, they have the same passion as me as we progressing though our fours years in high school. 

The schools in the video give incentives to students to attend school because they want to satisfy the government policy in order to get funds from the national government. The policy No Children Left Behind requires schools to raise their students‘ attendance rate. If the schools failed to do so, the national government would pull out its funding. However, PAS was a private school, it doesn’t need governmental fund to survive. Private schools are based on funding from the individual. They are rarely faced the financial difficulties.
