[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We pay for grades. It works and - frankly - is more akin to the real world where high performers get paid more in the workplace (exceptions abound, of course).

Big drop in compensation from an A to a B+. We have bonuses too for perfect GPA and certain milestones on SAT, class rank, etc. My kid decides what his time is worth....and he seems to like money.

It's nice because I'm not actually pressuring and following up. He wants to make some coin and pushes himself. Win-win for us.  [/quote]

How old is your kid?  Let's see you post 10 to 15 years after they graduate and see how they are doing emotionally and mentally[/quote]

Kids need to find their own self-motivation to learn and achieve in ES/MS/HS and beyond.  Pressuring your kid to be perfect is a recipe for disaster. And yes, you may not see it now, but in 10-15 years, they may not want to be around you, or even better they may not want you around their kids (your grandkids) in order to protect them
