[quote=Anonymous]I'd ease them off. Switch to paying per grading period. That way they still have the incentive, but it's not as immediate. Then, after a year or two of that, if you need to tone it down still further, you can do semester and end of year. I do per grading period, a flat amount for making honor roll. But I offer to double it if they make honor roll every quarter. So there's the immediate incentive, and even if they don't get it in the first or second quarter, there's an incentive to keep trying. But if they do make honor roll, there's a huge incentive to keep the work up because if they can manage it for all 4 quarters, they've doubled their money. It might also help to tie a certain behavior to a certain grade. E.g. you pay for individual grades through elementary school, then by the quarter system through middle, and the semester system for high school.[/quote]
