Money = Good Grades? Options

[JlIaTMK]

Hm, so about a week ago in my second hour class, there was this boy talking about how he receives money for getting all B's in school. He also mentioned that he gets 10 dollars for each b he received and that if he received an a, he would get 20 dollars for that one grade.
Now, seriously, parents have to bribe their kids nowadays to get them to get b's and a's in school?
How piteous is this?

Please share your opinions.

I think it's stupid. Of course, I'd love to get money for all the good grades I've gotten. If I did, I'd be a millionaire right now. I'm just exaggerating. My parents have taught that I'd have to earn my grades fair and square and not get anything in return because I'd have to be doing that all my life. I can't be expecting things in return all the time. It effects you when you're older too. You start to expect things everytime to do something well but you won't always get a reward. Bribing them may get some students to try harder, but not all. I have observed that most the students I've met and receive money for their good grades are the students that don't do too well in school. Of course, I'd love it if it happened to me.
