Interesting. I wonder what the long term effects of this are.
Won't the results of classic intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation studies apply?
I'd imagine if reading (and learning in general) is extrinsically driven,
one might move the needle say from 0->5. Once the driver is removed, I'm
having a hard time seeing it succeed.
I do not have studies or large scale data to back it, but my boys (12, 17) have
exhibited the drop-off in interest once the extrinsic motivation and/or peer group vanishes.
Perhaps it's not in your business interest to do so, but it'd be very useful to understand the longer term implications of a program like this.
I do not mean to discourage you - just curious - and wishing I could take back my tiger parenting altogether.
