This just dawned on me now. But what do you think about the motivation for a child to learn and get good grades, by some sort of payment by the parents?
I remember, a few friends in high school got, soemtimes, a playstation game or a fixed sum of money for particular grades. Like $20 for every A oir something. I myself, think it's a little sick.
I don't mean to sound square
but i was always motivated to learn based the drive to get attain more knowledge etc
That said, i wasn't really motivated in English or Geography, because the subjects didn't really interest me much. So i always had high schores in calculus, chemistry, physics and applicable maths, but pretty bad in geography and english.
I don't have much justification for it, other than a general sorta indifference for money and material/superficial possesions, but i dislike the idea of learning this way. School should not be a job and i'd like to think kids could get motivated otherwise.
