Well this chapter started off talking about the gumballs given for rewards when the class did something right, and honestly when reading it, I thought maybe I'll switch to this reward. But then it was talking about rewards and incentives and how they actually end up getting you the opposite of the desired behavior. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING WITH MY CLASS! I haven't figured out for the life of me why these rewards and incentives I've always done are no longer working or my class doesn't seem the least bit interested in obtaining the rewards! "Removing rewards will also transform your teaching. It will shift your focus from trying to light a fire under individual students to creating a learning environment every student will appreciate and enjoy being a part of." That's what I want to happen!
