    Almost half of American parents pay kids at least $1 for getting an "A." But that can backfire.http://on.wsj.com/UHZWyl

        @WSJ ...in first grade, then at six I negotiated 2$ for my second grade As and so on; I graduated USC at 20 so I'd say it worked out.

        @WSJ My parents kicked my rear end when I didn't get an A. I am forever grateful for Mom & Dad teaching me to assume responsibility!

        @WSJ if you really want to reward your kids, put that money in a separate bank account (not #collegefund) for when they graduate #highschool

        @TDPKNews @WSJ then it becomes like a #retirementfund (not really, but you get the point)

        @WSJ this makes performance money motivated. It says, if i do well I get rewarded, instead of I want to do well for the love of knowledge

        @WSJ The article on paying for A's is thought provoking but the study method is highly subject and the "experts" quoted hardly qualified.

        @WSJ Paid my kids $50 or $100 depending on individual for each 'A'. They made good money, got great grades. Worthwhile investment.

        On reading @WSJ report, do parents who "pay kids at least $1 for getting an "A" helping create "entitlement society?" http://on.wsj.com/UHZWyl

        @WSJ glad this inflation is low! :-) Maybe my kids allowance should be also what my parents paid me?

        @WSJ b/c why teach them monetary compensation is tied to performance? That's not fair. Besides that will be an old idea when they r working.

        @wishboneflynt @WSJ Not if I were Sec of EDU. We are a capitalist country that gives the next gen no experience in investing. Absurd!

        @WSJ Its the "If you give a mouse a cookie problem." Also you are not preparing kids for real life where they won't always get paid.
