  3. 1.I think that incentive means that it's a program for kids to achieve something.

    2. If a teacher grades all students papers and some of them have good grades that teacher wouldn't probably have that much money.

  27. 1) I think incentive means a economic effect in the United States Of America

    2) An atvantage on paying students mean encouraging students to do food to get payed like getting a pay check at the end of the nine weeks.
    A disatvantage means the school losing money to pay for school uniforms for band and sports

    3)I do not think students should be payed for good grades because school is a place to getr an education not money and also what if the school goes bankrupt and they can't pay taxes and pay for things around the school.
