Alfie kohn reaction page

1 Whats Alfie Kohns main idea?
   He is telling us that working together with others greatly increases our performance, rather than compatition. He is saying that we are better off without it.

2 What support/argument(s) was most/least convincing? Why?
   All of his points are strong and persuasive and convincing on their own. But since they all relate to education then the arguments don't compare to the business or real word.

3 So What? How is it relevant to this class?
    In starting a new business you need cooperation to get you started but  that will only get you so far. Yes you do want people to invest in you but you also need to be competitive later on. Because what if another business is selling the same product. All in all it is a balance of cooperation and competition that makes you successful.
