  Case: Incentives in the classroom: treats
When I was in elementary school, a lot of my teachers would pass out candy for participating in certain classroom activities. Answering questions correctly, or jeopardy games, or get an A on a test for instance. I remember my classmates and I were always very enticed by these types of incentives, is this system allowed and praised, or is it frowned upon? What are some alternative approaches besides verbally incentivizing students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You could give them reward papers, and then when they have earned enough they can buy things like pencils, fun erasers...things like this instead of candy.
