본문내용

Economists love incentives and study that how people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing. An incentive is simply a means of urging people to do more of a good thing and less of a bad thing. Actually we all learn to respond to incentives, negative and positive, from the outset of life.
In recent study among North Carolina schoolteachers, some 35 percent of the respondents said they had witnessed their colleagues cheating in some fashion, whether by giving students extra time, suggesting answers, or manually changing students’ answers. That’s because if the entire school does poorly, federal funding can be withheld; if the school is put on probation, the teacher stands to be fired. High-stakes testing also presents teachers with some positive incentives. If her students do well enough, she might find herself praised, promoted. It is also true that sports and cheating go hand in hand.
