[quote=Anonymous]Flame me if you must, but I was desperate two years ago. My kids had no motivation to do well and got horrific grades (even a B in PE, Cs abd Ds in everything else), so I resorted to paying them for every A they got on a test. That seemed cheaper than the tutors and more peaceful than the yelling about completing homework and tasks. Overnight, they started to get a ton of As. One child is a straight A student and the other is likely to get there too. (ages 13, 14 now). How do I gently let them down? I simply can't afford to keep paying them, plus the values are out of whack. I am thinking of telling them that the A money was simply to show them that they could do better. Now, I know that they can do well, so I expect good results?[/quote]
