<p>Heh, I remember complaining to my parents that I only got $0.50 an A and $0.25 per B when I had friends that were getting two orders of magnitude higher.</p>
<p>Also, this might prepare students for when they get into high school and can then qualify for the “good student” discount on their car insurance. Also, not sure if Blockbuster is still doing it, but ages ago they used to have a promotion where you got a free rental for having a 3.0 or better.</p>
<p>Working hard to get $50 or so is a short-term accomplishment, while getting a good job is certainly a long-term one. I am not “rich as hell” nor rich at all, but I’ve never felt that I needed financial compensation for good grades. It’s ridiculous how many people are trying to rationalize good grades for pay.</p>
<p>Okay. I like that there’s money on the line, but shouldn’t it go towards juniors and seniors who are trying to get into college? The incentive to get good grades in junior and senior years will help the kid get into college!!</p>
<p>Haha, no. The money that is given out for getting good grades most likely won’t cover college tuition, state or private.</p>

<p>When you work a job, you offer a service for money. When you are a student, you really aren’t offering anything…</p>
<p>…wow where is this school???</p>
<p>Why not? </p>
<p>If a higher degree gets you hundreds of thousands of dollars more in life, which correlates to taxes paid toward the community in the future, shelling out a few bucks is a wise investment in the long term.</p>
<p>i want money</p>
<p>I don’t like this idea because it does not foster learning for the sake of learning. But I do think that some students will work harder even when they stop getting paid simply because they will finally discover the good feeling of seeing their hard work reflected in their grades, and they will develop responsible habits that will carry over to their junior and senior years. A lot of these kids just *can’t<a href=“or%20don’t%20want%20to”>/I</a> summon the internal motivation because they see no point to it, and while it is a bit unfair because we’re not getting paid for A’s, at least the program will benefit some students.</p>
<p>
And suddenly this policy would make things already much more negative than it already is? This all “omg learning” thing is superfluous, those that seemingly act this way wouldn’t even have ventured into something like this in the first place. it’s all what’s already existent to an addition, not a replacement.</p>
