<p>We never were bribed or rewarded for our grades & never did that to/for our kids either. I’m quite sure it would not have worked–either when I was growing up or for my kids. The good thing is both of my kids love learning–what THEY want to learn (unfortunately it doesn’t always co-incide with what the instructor wants them to show they learned). It still has worked well enough–everyone in my family graduated from college & 6 of the 7 of us also got graduate degrees. My kids are happy & earning grades that satisfy them at a college where they’re both very happy.</p>
<p>We also enjoy going out to dinner to celebrate end of term or whatever other excuse we can come up with :)</p>
