Participant[quote=scaredycat]I think he’ll do better if he’s paid. More important, I think i’ll have to hassle him less. [/quote]
This is strong evidence of why I think that this is the wrong approach…
You are looking for a short cut that achieves two objectives:
1) You son has good grades
2) You don’t have to bothered with how that happensIt’s number two that is THE PROBLEM with most parents these days. They just don’t want to be bothered with their children…

ParticipantAgree wholeheartedly on all points. Paying for grades teaches the WRONG lesson and is an intellectually lazy way to coerce your children to take their education seriously…one that rarely has the desired outcome.
Love of learning and curiosity should be their own reward. THAT’s what you should be spending your energy on and you don’t even have to open your wallet. Take your kids to the library. Take your kids to a museum. Get involved in their school work with them.
Paying children to pay attention in school only ensures that they will expect some kind of reward throughout their lives for trivial things. This is NOT like the real world. I’ve had the unfortunate experience of managing people like this..lazy and unmotivated.
This is yet another example of the crap I see parents doing now that would never have happened when I was in school and is resulting in a generation of lazy kids with an entitlement mentality.

LOL. I think this may very well be the first president who’s not responsible for anything![/quote]Dear Leader and the Pelosi crowd will take credit for anything that doesn’t blow up and blame anything that does on Bush and the Republicans in congress…count on it.
