- I am looking for references or anecdotes about teachers using cold hard cash
- (i.e. moola, money, bread, dough, etc) to motivate students to improve their
- mastery of difficult/boring/dubiously relevant tasks like learning the
- multiplication table.
-
- Would I be on ethical thin ice here, or am I just trying to replace the perception
- of mathematics being difficult and distasteful (I am not a math teacher!) with
- the perception that it pays!
