Rewards

Hello Ethan! This is actually something that has been done for 2 months. We did it in the month of May and we did it in the month of June. Pablo and Rowan were the respective winners. Pablo won a synyster gates school gift card and Rowan won a sweet water gift card and a synyster Gates school gift card and she still has something coming from me. It definitely does encourage students to try harder. But the situation of it is is that it got difficult to be able to continuously afford this project unless other students chipped in and donated. It did happen with Rowan and it made it significantly easier.
But I agree at the fact that the reward should not be of monetary value. We are not playing guitar to get free stuff. We already have this wonderful free school and all of the sources at our fingertips. I would still like to see more students completing the lessons and taking the school seriously as the school content itself. I have been trying to nudge that from day one.I hardly ever see any conversations about the school lessons or videos pertaining to the school lessons and I hardly ever see growth videos. I do occasionaly and it’s wonderful! But it’s very difficult to gauge someone’s growth if they are not highly active and putting in the work and the continuous effort.
I would invite everyone else to weigh-in on their voices here
