text: Do you go home with every student at night and deal with what ever problems they may have going on? I didn't think so. So why would you go and take away something that makes them happy and expresses them self? Kids need good grades to get into college and have good paying jobs; yes we get it but. Good grade and fun activities as a reward but some kids don't want to have to go home and do homework for 1 hour at night to participate in things. The kids who have above a C average probably (not saying they do) do ALL their work and more cause they don't want to do any extra things. But that's their choice we're all different.
