Participantumm, paying for grades was around when i went to publci high school in the 70’s 80’s. in my hood, parents even sometimes paid for specific SAT results. i never got paid, but friends certianly did.
Have you “love of learning” advocates actually experienced school today with kids? the homework is crazy, the micrimanagemetn is intense, they fail you for technical screw-ups (missed parent signatures, etc.).
a quick google of homework reveals a wealth ofltierature and news articles on extreme tensions between parents and childrne concerning the hours of homework that are being dumped on kids.
schools ar enot some wonderland of learning. they are teaching to a test in pure drudgery. at least the money’d make the busywork portion nasd the technical compliance section interesting…

museums. check . occasional (usually not inspiring).
work with him. check. we have nightly dinner table conversations about my interesting line fo work which is related tomany lfie issues.
why is it either/or? does this ultimately come down to “money is dirty” argument? I wonder whether some of the “just get out there in the world and spend time with the” theorists actually have kids in an actual school system. it’s not like some fantasy ncie school. it’s a mill…
intact family. I’m his genetic dad. his genetic mom is vehemently opposed to the scheme. I am storngly in favor. I think the combination of payment as a carrot, punishments as th e stick along the way for repeated noncompliance with daily assignments, coupled with help and general praise and feedback along the course of the semester, would prove to be sucha potent combination that he might actually do what is required… consdier this hypothetical.
did the kennedy kids have a dealwhere they were each paid a million upon graduating college? i seem to recall reading that somewhere…
so, what of that? if a kid were to be paid some huge sum, would that somehow “ruin” their life and future education? they might enjoy the material or not, might enjoy the experience or not regardless of whether moneyw as involved. but i bet if a kid were offered a million dollars to nail all A’s in high school, that he would probably really try to get all A’s, and if the kid had minimal aptitude and maximial drive, he would almost certainly achieve the goal…and arguably have learned an important lesson on focussing in ona goal…
