Eisner's Three Curricula

When I read the article, I was first stopped by the reward system. I understand rewards are used to extrinsically motivate students to achieve certain goals which they may not know those are important to them. This is an effective strategy for young students but it should not be a long-term method to motivate students. As schools are the place where kids and teenagers spend most of the time there, schools should find a way to intrinsically motivate students to do what they are interested.

Then I was stopped by the differentiation of classes into ability groups. I think schools employ this system because they want to motivate students to get good grades. However, I do not like this system because it would make some students feel superior whereas some feel they are dumber than the others. This differentiation would make some students have low self-confidence, discouraging them to learn.
Regarding the null curriculum, I agree with the author that schools should not be restricted by the traditional views of teaching. Schools should offer some courses or subjects that are not popular in traditional education but practical/important to students when they are working in society. If students can have opportunities to try these nontraditional courses, they may discover their potential to pursue their dreams. 

After checking the new BC curriculum, I found that besides the traditional education about language, mathematics and science, it emphasized the hands-on experience in collaboration, critical thinking and communication, which are the important skills for students to succeed in their future. It is also aimed at the personalized learning of students and this is quite connected with the Eisner's ideas about education with the three curricula.
