This is demonstrated to increase learning. However, giving a reward BEFORE a desired behavior is called "bribery". Referring to the process as an "incentive" does nothing to change what is happening - "incentives" are "bribes". http://www.i2i-align.com/2010/06/are-incentives-bribes.html/ Too bad a board of ethics doesn't exist to impeach these so-called educators from further corrupting what are already troubled young Blacks.

These future thugs (apparently they are already) will first of all learn that bribery is a viable subject to master. Maybe the only positive thing about the whole scam relates to their lower IQ. Blacks typically have poor consequential reasoning skill because of a shorter time horizon connected to their lower intelligence. Since the bribe money is up front in the present, this "carrot or stick approach" might help as it does to induce an ass to movement? Talk about freakonomics!
