        @WSJ This is sad. I did not have time for rewards or incentives because I was working by age 11. That's why I don't hire Millenials! #wsj

        @NelsonThought @WSJ Agreed. Would add that vast majority of foreign students understand value of learning for its own sake. Good luck kids!

        @WSJ my father had a great motivational method for us if we didn't want to study, his belt. Worked wonders.

        @WSJ How does bribing a kid get you good grades? Are you paying the kid to sit your exams for you? Doesn't seem right to me.

        .@WSJ A bribe is given IN ADVANCE to coerce performance. Money for grades is a REWARD, not a bribe. Your paycheck isn't a bribe, either.

        @WSJ I agree with the kid who says it's not a bribe, it's a reward. There is definitely a difference.
