How do you reward your children for good grades? Or do you?
Do you think that paying children is a good option, rewarding them another way, or do you feel that this is their responsibility so it is not necessary to provide a reward? Other thoughts?
I believed praise was the best method.
Giving kids money or something similar gives them the wrong idea-- IRL they're not going to get these "extras" for things they should be doing anyway.
In their earliest years, though, an exceptionally-good report card resulted in special treats-- like going out for ice cream, etc.
At the end of my seasonal job we get a bonus for a good job...
@Melissa: seriously? I've never heard of that before. does sound nice, though
Well, my job is just a pool attendant, however I assumed that there could be financial rewards in other fields if you do an exemplary job, but I could just be naive. Kids however do work pretty hard at school, like it's their unpaid job.
Melissa and Starmom, I've heard of bonuses too. My mother used to get a bonus at the end of tax season (she works in an accounting office) and at Christmas for doing a good job.
As for this question, we don't use money, but we celebrate report cards as a family. We let the kids choose a place to go out to eat, or something along those lines just to celebrate a job well done. I'm so proud of them as they have been bringing home excellent report cards.
I know others who pay money per grade, like $5 for each A, $3 for a B, or something to that effect. Was just curious how others handled this or felt about the topic.
I don't think paying them is ideal. Our kids got a lot of praise. A lot of - that is fantastic! I know you could do it. I'm so proud of you. One mistake I did make was to celebrate too often with food. I would not repeat that mistake if I had it to do over.

I praise my children when they have good grades in school. As a parent I like seeing the majority of A's and B's on their progress reports. Rewarding them for good grades is also a reward for me as well.

What's the best way to get your kids to get good grades?I have been trying for about two years to keep my three daughters on track with their grades. But it seems like I am always battling to get them to even care!

As a student, what do you care more about, grades or learnings?

My biggest concern is that everytime we have a fight about our finances he tells me when I get a job I can make decisions about the money. I am a stay at home mom with 2 kids ages 3 and 1 and I do the house and cook and take care of the kids. I know i don't make actual money but that should not...

Teachers often complain about low pay; the claim to be overworked and under-compensated. The say that they deserve to be paid more, since they are responsible for teaching the next generation. Yet, when the subject of the ever falling standards and performance of students comes up, they rarely have...
