Aside from your total misunderstanding of what she said, I take issue with the ludicrous habit of rewarding every mundane task a child performs. In my opinion (and I'm not alone in this opinion, by far), this is a good part of what is wrong with public schools (in america, at least) and many parents these days- they validate the kids so fucking much that they're screwed when the relative harshness of the "real world" punches them in the stomach after high school. They feel the world owes them everything, and it should all appear for them on a platter, like their parents have been doing all their life.

Public school systems rewarding?
In my experience with public school systems, most of the staff either don't care, won't let you know they care, or explain how they want a student to pass. I have NEVER seen any kind of reward, let alone excess to the point of spoiling a child. When that happens, its usually the parents' fault.
I understand its the mother's fault. I was saying that it might help to add specifics to the scheduel in order to help it stick in the childs memory.
You confuse encouragement with undue rewards. Aside from your total misunderstanding of what I said, don't take your anger out on me. Go hit a pillow.
