My husband’s family paid their children for grades and half of them ended up going to college.
My parents took us out one on one to dinner at Sizzler. It was quite the place 20 years ago. 🙂 Can you believe that was enough to feel special and rewarded? All 5 children got A’s and all 5 graduated from college and beyond.
Spending time helping kids with homework will go a lot farther than $1,000 bribe.
I was a H.S. teacher and even though kids say they want “stuff” what they really want is love and attention. It isn’t always easy, I still remember my mom making me finish “The Odyssey” before I could go to Volleyball camp. I hated it but kids need that sometimes.
