I read this article today about schools paying their students for good grades. Is this seriously what it's come down to? We have to monetarily motivate our kids to have a desire to learn?
When my stepdad moved in, he paid me $20 for every 'A'. I remember being very confused -- but I was too smart to argue that kind of offer! Were you paid or given some sort of incentive for good grades? Or were the grades enough? And how do you intend to handle this with your own kids?
