[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about you teach your kids to be intrinsically motivated, and to experience the connection between working hard and doing well? Ridiculous to pay a kid $500 for grades. WTH??[/quote] Doesn't basically every adult employed outside the home get financially rewarded for doing so? Many jobs also give performance bonuses. Nothe sure why this is such a strange concept.[/quote] NP.. because a tween is not an adult yet. There are basic expecatations in life for a tween... brush your teeth, make your bed, do your chores, study hard in school... If you want to make money, go mow the neighbor's lawn or, now that it's fall, rake their leaves. When it snows, shovel their snow. My 12 yr old DS does this. He also gets straight As, but I never pay him for it. He just likes getting good grades. It makes him feel good. And I agree $500 for straight As for a tween seems incredibly excessive.[/quote]
