When I was a kid (junior high, high school) my parents would offer me $100 if I got all A's in all my classes each semester. This being a pretty tough goal to achieve for myself, I figured the reward matched the challenge and I tried hard to achieve this goal. Eventually I did and It wasn't even about the money (which was a nice bonus), but about reaching my parents standard that I was trying to do.
Of course it's different for all kids, but I think parents should do whatever is necessary for them to help their kids, even if a reward for good grades is in order. Just keep the bar high, that way they have to work harder in order to reach it.

However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V
