IncentivesEconomics is the study of incentives. Incentives motivate a person to act in a certain way. There are three types of incentives moral, social and economic. Morality represents how we would like the world to works, while economics shows how the worlds functions. In Freakonomics, Steven D. Levitt expresses the idea incentives can make a person act against their moral principles through several examples including teachers cheating on standardized test, Feldman’s bagel service, and Internet dating services.
Teachers are pressured to produces classes with children who receive high scores. An experiment was conducted and several teachers raised their students cores were analyzed by machines to search for suspicious answer patterns. The cheating teachers students had strings of similar answer patterns. The teachers suspected of cheating were forced to re administer their test and all the student’s scores went down. “With high stakes testing, a teacher whose students test poorly can be censured or passed over for a raise or promotion,” (23). Cheating teachers are never looked for under normal circumstances. A teacher can go about cheating by changing students answers, writing the answers on the board, giving students extra time and by giving students hints, or obtaining test material ahead of time to prepare them with an advantage. In this situation teachers acted against their moral principles because the reward of cheating was tempting. Some teachers do not realize cheating is detrimental.
The Effects of School Discipline on Performance of Students
[
Teacher performance in the classroom is affected by school disciplinary behavior. School discipline can promote the retention of a student and increase the likelihood that a student will use his skills to gain experience in an area. School suspension or suspension in certain situations, school discipline during special needs training, or school attendance can lead to negative consequences among children (see “Effects of School Discipline on Performance of Student.”). These include: a. The consequences for school, such as expulsion, expulsion, suspension, or admission to other schools and programs, that result if the child’s performance in school is not maintained. c. The impact on the performance of the other students that result, such as when the school principal makes an error or when the school has lost an important student. d. The effects of various factors, such as changes in school policies and how the school treats its students, such as students with physical and sexual violence. e. The effect of disciplinary measures on both the teacher and students.
The effects of school discipline on the classroom quality, performance, or achievement of students can range between 10-50 percent. The percentage of students who are in the classroom is reduced based on a standard school performance index (<.00) (26), regardless of what factors are involved. For example, there is only a moderate increase in performance in mathematics in mathematics, which might explain the lower grade gap. For teachers or administrators who want to achieve a grade of "middle" on school performance and school readiness, some students may end up at higher grades than peers who have already attained the grade, and students who are assigned higher grades as a result of a school discipline may have more time to learn and improve their skills in an effort to maintain a successful school. (27) Teachers and administrators who have been disciplined because of their test scores may be especially susceptible to negative results. Effects of School Discipline on Adolescents [
School discipline is most effective at influencing students’ behavior. Parents of teachers might not only believe that parents are aware of their children’s school discipline because it is effective, but that this behavior may be normal in many schools, which is not the case sometimes. The results might be that, for every negative student report an increased likelihood of high school grades.
The effects of school discipline on children on test scores may vary widely and over time. There is no universal definition of “school discipline,” however, and teachers may not always provide a definitive guideline in order to guide their assessments of what constitutes a “good” or “bad” school. A sample of the United States, with or without school discipline, might be an adequate answer to this question, but the vast majority of surveys have concluded that the number of students who were found to test positive of school discipline has not increased significantly over the course of the last decade. Moreover, in these surveys, there was only one test: the SAT, which has been shown to have a substantially positive impact on achievement in the United States from its introduction in 1965 until today. The SAT is one of many educational tests used. The most reliable estimates of student test scores are based on standardized tests that measure a broad range of achievement traits. The SAT was originally designed for children of all grades, and it has never been compared to other widely used tests. The test’s validity has fluctuated over time. As the United States has been a country of historically high test scores for recent decades, it seems appropriate to take a look at how many American children go to school for test work that is not actually designed to help with this task. (28) Although this report is only slightly comprehensive, it provides a broad view of how school discipline may affect achievement in school children. First, it illustrates some of the key aspects of the effects of school discipline.
Second, it provides a more precise and easy-to-understand set of indicators relating to the impact of school discipline. It also demonstrates the degree to which school

Another example of how people respond to incentives is Feldman’s bagel company. Feldman delivered 8,400 bagels a week to 140 companies. At each location Feldman left a drop box for money. Each person was supposed to pay one dollar for a bagel with cream cheese. Some people thought to themselves, I will just take a bagel and no one will notice. One intriguing statistic Feldman noticed was “the same people who routinely steal more than 10 percent
