Some people think that students who achieve the best academic results should be rewarded. Others believe it is more important to reward students who show improvement. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

. Many believe top
students
will continue to work as hard as before when they are recognized for their achievements. Usually,
students
tend to think it will be pointless if their hard work is not appreciated.
However
,
this
view is not strong enough to be taken seriously because they are already rewarded for the high marks they get.
For instance
, the top high school
students
are able to get into top universities more easily than the others who unfortunately do not have good grades.
On the other hand
, some people think that giving appreciation to
students
who show improvement will push
everyone
to improve. By
this
, I mean not all
students
are born talented in academic skills but every single student without exception is able to improve in some way. Considering, that teaching every student to improve is
one
of the main goals of education, it is more important to encourage
everyone
to push themselves rather than only minority
students
who are top
students
.
For example
, in my country, it is a common thing to only appreciate
students
who get the highest grades.
As a result
, many of them who are not talented to get good marks do not bother to push themselves to improve. In conclusion, rewarding improvement is more crucially important rather than appreciating raw talent because the top
students
have already been rewarded for their good marks and it is
one
vital mission in education to improve
everyone
regardless of their initial background.
