Paying for Grades

Not sure whether paying kids to get good grades helps or hurts? This mother's experience is all for it, but paying for chores is a whole different matter.

Paying for grades is tempting, but does it help kids grow into happy successful adults or does it make them short sighted?

As a teacher and a mother, I am drawn to the ongoing debate: Do we pay for good grades? It is a hot topic that has been the source of a lot of opinions and controversy.
