Do you think we should give monetary incentives to the KP2 students to motivate them to get better grades?

KP2 students also known in Malay language as “ kedudukan perhatian '' have a GPA below than 2.00 for two times before they will be kicked out from our university. I'm totally disagree about giving a money as incentives to motivate them to get better result. There are three reasons I disagree this opinion. Such as, waste our money, their attitude, unfair for other students.

Some people will agree about this opinion because they will think money are main boundaries for students to get a better result. For me by giving this incentives it will waste our money. As we know, almost all student's Micet got money allowance every month, which are for Diploma students about RM 535 and RM 595 for Degree students. With this amount, there are no reasons money will be the boundaries to them to get better result. Unless, they always spend this money to enjoying their self everyday.

My second point is about attitude. As a student, we need act like as students. Such as going to class, doing a tutorials or assignment and maybe have a study group. As far as I know, most of them have a attitude problems, some of them always skip their class, do a plagiarism for assignments or lab reports. So, if we give this incentives to them, are they will change their attitude to be a better students?
Maybe for the first week, they will change but I totally sure it not to the end and will going back to the real them.

Besides that, it will be unfair for other students whose got a good results. If KP2 students got monetary incentives to motivate them to get better grades, they also should get this incentives to remain their constancy of good grades. On the other hands, maybe there are more students will get bad great because want monetary incentives. So can you imagine every years amount of KP students are increase because of money ?

For me, by giving a monetary incentives to them is not solve their problems but it will create new problems from them. So, let think about another solution to solve this problem. Before end my writing let me stress again, I'm totally disagree about giving monetary as incentives to motivate them to get better results.

That's all for today.

great points girls... it's all about attitude basically... yes, people might change but that will happen if they want to do so.. not by others force.. there are a better solution for the problem.. give them supports and help them personally.. (^^)

its right, give them supports and help are more valuable rather than give monetary incentives to them. But the key point is about their attitude. If they want or not. Its up to them. :)
