[quote=Anonymous]Some kids really want to do the thing that the legible metrics (grades etc) are trying to measure -- to learn the material, to create the artwork, to run the race. Some kids really want to chalk up the points on the board and would be incentivized to do whatever it was that was being measured regardless of the content. And some kids are afraid of disappointing their parents who really want them to chalk up the points. I don't think there are a lot of kids who are killing it because their parents want them to have the actual achievement (rather than the measured thing) though.[/quote]
