While money (or other incentives) can work in some cases, there are inherent rewards in a “honest day’s work”. Effort (whether put forth in a classroom, an office or a kitchen) is a key ingredient for self-esteem, character building and success. Engaging the disengaged is a challenging task. Another tool may be to publicize the benefits of “brain fitness” thereby improving the PR of some subjects (such as Math).
