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 used to be paid for my grades. except it was 5 dollars for an A and 2.50 for a B, nothing for C's. that was in 7th grade only though. after reading some of these responses, i would agree that it's not something you would want to teach your kids. because as soon as they are done with school... they won't have any motivation to do anything.
