You have given an example of your kid and you said not to depend on external rewards but the reality is it won't work. The reward is motivation. Forget about your kid. If it applies to you, me and others. Except for the personality development of students, education doesn't ensure any security to get a good job after graduation. So why take too much hassle for education rather than finding an alternative money-generating source? I am saying it instead of I almost finished my graduation as a topper. I am sure that those people will get a job early who were politically active. So have I done the wrong thing only focusing on studying and staying far from dirty politics? Most of the students have the same thoughts like.
