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.

My mother does the same, but fewer amounts of money. I think it's good that the parents would set goals for their children. If you get an A, you get money. That encourages me to do me best. I know I'm greedy/spoiled.
