Virtually nothing, say psychologists, sociologists, and others who have studied that question for a decade. Alfie Kohn, Author, Speaker & Educator We destroy the ... love of learning in children, which is so strong when they are small, by encouraging and compelling them to work for petty and contemptible rewards--gold stars, or papers marked 100 and tacked to the wall, or A's on report cards, or honor rolls, or dean's lists, or Phi Beta Kappa keys -- in short, for the ignoble satisfaction of feeling that they are better than someone else. Alfie Kohn, Author, Speaker & Educator Very few things are as dangerous as a bunch of incentive-driven individuals trying to play it safe. Alfie Kohn, Author, Speaker & Educator Punishment and reward proceed from basically the same psychological model, one that conceives of motivation as nothing more than the manipulation of behavior. Alfie Kohn, Author, Speaker & Educator Many of the familiar principles of Quality management amount to an elaboration of this simple truth: an innovative, healthy organization requires that we work with people rather than do things to them. Alfie Kohn, Author, Speaker & Educator If You Want to Kill Innovation, Reward It! Alfie Kohn, Author, Speaker & Educator When test scores go up, we should worry, because of how poor a measure they are of what matters, and what you typically sacrifice in a desperate effort to raise scores. Alfie Kohn, Author, Speaker & Educator Some people undoubtedly find it convenient to have students arrive having already been stamped PRIME, CHOICE, SELECT, or STANDARD. Alfie Kohn, Author, Speaker & Educator Trying to do well and trying to beat others are two different things. Alfie Kohn, Author, Speaker & Educator
