Quote by James S. Coleman
The present structure of rewards in high schools produces a response on the part of an adolescent social system which effectively impedes the process of education.
Summary
This quote suggests that the current system of rewards in high schools hinders the educational process due to the way adolescents respond to them. It implies that the incentive-based rewards system creates a negative impact on education by diverting focus from the actual learning process. Instead, students may be driven to solely work for rewards, leading to a less effective and meaningful education.
