I had CNN Headline News on this morning and the following story caught my eye.
I think this is interesting, yet I struggle with it. One viewer wondered if we are not just teaching them that money is the only reason to do something well. However, I can also see the benefit for kids who might be willing to give up a job to focus on grades if they knew they were still going to have some cash now for that.
That being said, I had to take a minute to brag on my kids. I finally received last semester report cards out of four high school girls, one fifth grader and one third grader, we only had 5 c's! Everything else was an A or B!!!!! My kids rock! I cannot begin to express how proud of them I am. They are all working very hard to make and maintain good grades. And they feel good about it.

Thank you for coming to my blogspot. I agree with rewards for grades. Positive reinforcement works better than negative. Not that negative reinforcement is bad. Sounds like you all are doing a great job with the kids.
