In a few minutes, they would learn how much money they had earned for their scores on recent reading and math exams. Some would receive nearly $50 for acing the standardized tests, a small fortune for many at this school, P.S. 188 on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. 2 When the rewards were handed out, Jazmin Roman was eager to celebrate her $39.72. She whispered to her friend Abigail Ortega, How much did you get? Abigail mouthed a barely audible answer: $36.87. Edgar Berlanga pumped his fist In the air to celebrate his $34.50. 3 The children were unaware that their teacher, Ruth Lopez, also stood to gain financially from their achievement. If students show marked improvement on state tests during the school year, each teacher at Public School 188 could re ceive a bonus of as much as $3,000. School districts nationwide have seized on the idea that a key to improving schools is to pay for performance, whether through bonuses for teachers and principals, or rewards like cash prizes for students. New York City, with the largest public school system in the country, is in the forefront of this movement, with more than 200 schools experimenting with one incentive or another.

Each of these schools has become a test to measure whether, as Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg posits, tangible cash rewards can turn a school around. Can money make academic success cool for students disdainful of achieve ment? Will teachers pressure one another to do better to get a schoolwide bonus? So far, the city has handed Out more than S500,000 to 5,237 students In 58 schools as rewards for taking several of the 10 standardized tests on the sched ule for this school year. The schools, which had to choose to participate in the program, are all over the city. I’m not saying I know this is going to fix every thing, said Roland G. Fryer, the Harvard economist who designed the student incentive program, abut I am saying it’s worth trying. What we need to try to do Is start that spark. Nationally, school districts have experimented with a range of approaches. Some are giving students gift certificates, McDonald’s meals and class pizza parties. Baltimore is planning to pay struggling students who raise their state test scores. Critics of these efforts say that children should be inspired to learn for knowledge’s sake, not to earn money, and question whether prizes will ulti Ruth Lopez gives her student Abigail Ortega a certificate showing her earnings from test scores.

Anticipating this kind of argument, New York City was careful to start the student experiment with private donations, not taxpayer money, avoiding some of the controversy that has followed the Baltimore pro gram, which uses public money.

Virginia Connelly, the principal of Junior High School 123, in the Sound- view section of the Bronx, has experimented with incentives for years, like rewarding good behavior, attendance and grades with play money that can be spent in the student store. We’re in competition with the streets, Ms. Connelly said. They can go out there and make $50 illegally any day of the week. We have to do something to compete with that. Barbara Slatin, the principal of RS. 188, on the other hand, said she was ini- ‘. tially skeptical about paying students for doing well. Her students, many of whom live in the nearby housing projects along Avenue D, would surely wel come the money, she said, but she worried about sending the wrong message.
