OT: Paying Kids For Grades in HS

Then it may be a lesson he needs to learn on his own the hard way.
The paying for grades reeks of government bailout to me. I don’t like it but it certainly exists in the real world.

You still haven’t answered the question of “why do this in the first place?” if there isn’t a history of poor performance.

Well, not really. Again, I’m not totally against they idea of paying for grades, but I don’t want my kids to learn that people will pay them to do stuff that isn’t really helping the person who is paying them.

In the real world, people only pay you to do stuff that helps them. My kids getting better grades doesn’t help me at all.

So, it isn’t like the real world at all. Well, except maybe kinda like welfare.

I think I can come up with a theory on why you don’t want to pay for grades.

It seems to me that getting good grades is in the kids own self-interest and it seems to me that paying kids to do stuff that is in their own best interest anyway isn’t such a good idea.

If they have to learn to do things that are in their own best interest by not doing them and suffering the consequences, then so be it.

I’m adding that to my list of parenting concepts – “don’t pay kids to do things that are in their own self interest.”
