Paying Kids for Grades

I have the final answer on whether or not you should pay your kids.

I have the final answer on whether or not you should pay your kids: You should not! There's a great deal of debate out there among parents about how to motivate kids to do well in school. I think kids should do what they are able to do in school. A lot of parents have their eyeballs set on the brass ring - the "A" - when they have B or C students. If a B or C student is working his or her butt off and gets the B or C that they're capable of getting, then that's a huge success. It's the process and the activity of studying that should be valued over the result.
