"I finished a file, do I get a reward now?" "You get paid." "Don't I get anything else?" "No." "Oh...." (person becomes demotivated and loses job). I've already seen the trend beginning to change because of the jobs I've been working, where these teens/young adults (I can't say I'm not classified as a young adult, but I do work hard for everything I have) are starting to get jobs. It's a remarkable difference....So much less motivation and dedication, and so many more demands and feelings of entitlement.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting♥α§ђ£ε¥™♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/16595632956946407806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871177378111967453.post-18817669023299520312011-11-05T05:49:24.702-05:002011-11-05T05:49:24.702-05:00I agree with you about the issues associated with ...I agree with you about the issues associated with rewarding all children equally. Poor hardworking, talented Johnnie does deserve a medal! I like the system of 'personal best' though. <br /><br />There is a big need to reward mediocrity these days and I am not into it. Kids need to learn to be internally motivated - doing things because they like to. Doing things because it makes them feel good. Doing things because they have to. Not always doing things for an external reward.<br /><br />I shudder to think what this current generation will be like in the workplace!

I've noticed that the grasp of the English language is declining, especially with the advent of "txt tlk". *shudder*♥α§ђ£ε¥™♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/05769357580349768079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871177378111967453.post-30128124992022006562011-04-09T08:02:20.016-05:002011-04-09T08:02:20.016-05:00What you write keeps me reading.
