The “presence of financial incentives” usually promotes growth in anything. Consider how many more people go to the doctor with minor problems that would resolve itself because they have insurance coverage. Fifty years ago people didn’t run to the doctor every time they sneezed because they didn’t have a cheap copay.

As well in education if the student is classified as “special needs” then the teacher need not feel responsible for the failure of the child to learn the curriculum.
