Do you get anything for Good Grades?

I do not. I have many things going on, but I am still a straight A student. I am also GT, but I never get anything...wah...

re: Do you get anything for Good Grades?

    I don't get allowance and I don't have a job...grades are my only income.

    $5 per A
    $0.50 per B
    $0 per C
    $-5 per D
    Shit per F

    And I get an extra $20 per straight As
    I also convinced my mom to give me another $20 for each A in an honors course

    I can rack in about 120 per quarter

re: Do you get anything for Good Grades?

I used to, but I don't need that sort of motivation any longer.

If I get straight As, I get $40. Any Bs and I get nothing. So it's a good motivation.

Nope, I got a watch from my parents when I got a half price scholarship for grade 8-10 though..

Getting my scholarship to the school that I did put in a great contribution for the idea of getting a computer in my room.

re: Do you get anything for Good Grades?

I used to get $5 for each A I got. Then it went to $50 (presumably because my mother was confident that I would get none.) Now it is at $0.

re: Do you get anything for Good Grades?

Yes, I do get something. I get the opportunity to succeed in a well-paying career and be able to do whatever I want in my adult life.

No one should be rewarded for what they ought to do. My parents often like to take me out to a restaurant that I like when I get straight A's, even though I tell them that I don't do it for the reward. I do it to improve myself.

Yeah. You do not need an award. If you get one, it is just to push yourself.

re: Do you get anything for Good Grades?

I get nothing for good grades. Just a better future :/
I am a straight A student though, so if my parents did give me money they would probably be in debt.

EDIT: Sometimes we go to a restaurant if I get good grades in my exams. Or if I win a martial arts tournament

re: Do you get anything for Good Grades?

Sense of fulfilment?

I crack myself up.

Narr, nothing. In principal I don't mind, because I did well anyway. I do think it kinda sucks though that parents will often wait until they see what sorts of grades their kids look to be getting before making a decision to reward them for it. If you do well from the first grade, they tend to not bother. Which is ridiculous.

It worries me a bit, because it shouldn't be needed in either event. If the kid is motivated to do well, they don't need an incentive for it (although it is good to let them know you're proud of them every now and then). If the kid isn't, it's probably due to a lack of discipline - and bandaid solutions like bribes (which they effectively are in many cases) aren't going to fix a problem that serious. For mine, anyway.

re: Do you get anything for Good Grades?

    When I started, I think 5th grade, my mom started giving me money for grades. Because she would no longer buy me everything I wanted or anything like that. Mine is just like a good job, here you go type of thing because I have always done good...she rose it up because she thought I wouldn't get an A...I fooled her
