    I’m considerering paying my kid for grades. I was thinking $100 for an A, $15 for a B, minus $80 for less than a B, $200 Bonus for straight A’s. Eight classes: minimum zero, max $1,000. Good idea or bad idea?

    Everybody have a different parenting style. What does your gut tell you? I personally wouldn’t pay them for their grades. It’s expected out of them. If they don’t get an A, they’ll get their perks reduced. Just like I don’t believe in paying them to clean their room. They’re expected to help clean the house and the dishes.

    I think he’ll do better if he’s paid. More important, I think i’ll have to hassle him less.

    I don’t believe in hassling either. I just do it. If my kid doesn’t get an A, certain perks will be taken away until they’ll get the A back.
