Self explanatory.
Do you receive money for "good grades" in school? ------------------------------------- My parents would never give me money for getting good grades in school. All they say is "good job" and make no big deal out of it. Of course, good grades for my parents is all a's. |

Nope. I don't get anything.
I don't even really get a "good job" or anything. All they do is criticise me.  Even if I get straight A's, they'll say something like, "I'm glad you got these grades. Hopefully you'll get them next year as well."I don't really want anything from them, I just wish they'd at least keep the criticism to themselves when I do something acceptable. |

No. I wish I did because I'd have a big stash of money right now if I did. They tell to keep up the good work that's all.

Not really. They would tell me to get a few good grades (meaning 90's+) and they'll buy me something "great".
They weren't true to their word though, they tried to make up excuses. |

No...my parent are just happy for me, but when I tell my grandparents, the most they give me is $20. I have friends whose parents give them $20 for each A. Lucky people...

That's how my parents are. I'm so happy I'm not the only one.  I don't see what the big deal with getting all A's is though. You have no idea how mad my mom got when I got a C. I'm crumbling under pressure.

Nope. They just say "good job," and that's it.
I wish they would at least give me something or say something more to that.

not usually. but because first term this year i didn't do very well even though i tried soo hard, they said that if i get a 3.7 gpa (which is a big jump from what i had) i'd get a car for my 17th birthday. that's really quite motivating :P

Nothing.
Not even a "great job". It's more like a "Okay. Why didn't you do better?" |
