    Would you pay your child for getting an "A"? Half of American parents do - and the average reward is $16 per "A."http://on.wsj.com/TegOPQ

        @WSJ parents gave me a new toy for straight A's. Taught reward for hard work at a young age, without spoiling me. Better off because of it

        @WSJ this is a bad incentive system. reward can be praise. if you pay, your child would be a genuine interest in learning

        @WSJ College Prof: "God gets A, I get B, you folks fight for C, D, F." Tough msg but clear incentive to work hard. So, 4 kids? B is ok!

        @WSJ We paid our children for A's, but only $1. They made a haul each grading period. It's their job, and we rewarded for a job well done.

        @WSJ No, the expectation is an A. I pay for their cars, phones and clothes with an understanding of performance. Goal is always to get A's.

        @WSJ Never paid for older kids grades. Both A honor students. One is now PhD candidate they other has MBA. It's a gift, use it wisely.
