Children need structure, guidance, and discipline. Keeping a close eye on one’s children will alert a parent as to when something is going wrong. Children are what they live, so teaching parent’s how to be good parent’s is not only going to benefit the parents but the children as well, instead of having monster heredity, them may have wonderful heredity genes for generations to

Students should get paid to study, to have good grades, and to have good work habits so that they become better students, more motivated and therefore are more successful when they enter the workforce as adults. Many people believe this is the formula for success. Get paid for the good grade, right? There are three compelling reasons why students should be paid to go to school: going to school is essentially a full time job so students should be paid; money is a strong motivator, especially for kids; and it’s good for the economy to have future workers who are motivated by money to do an excellent job. After discussing these three points, it will be hard to dispute the fact that paying students to go to school and get good grades is a good thing and has positive results.

Children do not come with guidelines or instructions. What they do come with is a crucial set of physical and emotional needs that need to be met. To raise children properly, parents duties are not limited to just food, shelter and protection. Parents are largely responsible for their children’s success in life. Parents are required to teach and educate children. They have to shape knowledge and character into their children to prepare them to face the real world. To be successful with this, parents must provide self esteem needs, teach moral and values and provide discipline that is both effective and appropriate. As the generations have changed, many parenting styles have evolved, as well.

Every six out of ten kids in school have failing grades. Almost every kid gets stress due to their grades. Paying kids for their grades will give them motivation, and desire to work harder. Kids should get paid for their grades to get inspired into doing better.

Getting paid for good grades has changed many people's lives and also changed their grades and knowledge. Wouldn't you want money for grades change your life too? Kids should get paid for grades to help the people who can't afford a simple,nice meal. Also, to keep their grades up and act like school is their job, because basically, it is. To begin with, many families need the money to survive and thrive.

The general argument made by Arianna Prothero in her work, “Does Paying Kids to Do Well in School Actually Work?”, is why students should be paid as an initiative to go to school. More specifically, she argues that students need a reward for going to school. One example, for having good attendance, the principal put the students in a raffle and two individuals would win a car. She writes, “... economists started looking earnestly at how educators could leverage incentives, such as gift cards, scholarship money, and in some cases cold hard cash, to motivate students to go to school and perform better on tests.” In this passage, the author is suggesting that schools give more incentives to students with good grades and attendance. Although,

The general argument made by the author Arianna Prothero in her work ‘Does Paying Kids to Do Well in School Actually Work’ is that paying students for grades only works for students who are already doing well within their classes. Throughout the article, the author was appearing to be neutral about the topic. Prothero uses the statement “the effects are small if even there at all” to emphasize the point about the incentive only working for students who are almost there. These pupils are the students who only need to put in a small amount of work and effort to achieve this reward.

The general argument made by Arianna Prothero in her passage, Does Paying Kids to Do Well in School Actually Work, is that incentives, such as paying students to go to school, will improve the way they learn. More specifically, she believes that financial incentives affect students rather than little trinkets or toys. She writes “Incentives are also more likely to work for students who need a little improvement to earn a passing grade.” In this passage, Arianna is suggesting that more schools in the U.S. should start providing incentives but that are designed well or else they will not work. So, does paying kids to do well in school actually work?

Would students be able to improve their grades if they were getting paid? Money is a great reward for most students and it could possibly have a long term effect on students. They are always wanting their grades to be improved and then they would have more of a reason to study for test and quizzes if they were getting paid do go to school. Students would be focused at school if their was money to be made by going to school. Teachers would also not be stopping as often because of students getting of track. I believe students would improve their grades if they were getting paid because, Money could have a long term effect, and more student could need a little more motivation

Within the article McCready provides alternative ways for parents to motivate

Only 19% of 654 Canadian parents consider the age of 5 to be too young to be given money (Kids Money, 2014). This is a huge problem in today’s society. Kids are easily driven by money and can become spoiled as well as overprivelaged. It would benefit both the child and parent(s) if they do not receive money for good grades. Due to the lack of knowledge, kids are unable to spend money wisely. Their strive for money becomes their main goal and do not realize the importance of their grades. This leads to rushed work also, paying your child is a waste of the money earned by the parents and leads to consequences for their future.

In my way of thinking paying children for good marks is useful because not only it makes them to study harder and make their own future but also helps them to see how much they need to work for money when they grow up

I am a kid myself. I exert myself not for good grades, but for a good future, and that is what is imperative here. The want for money, praise and prevalence will win out over our desire for money every time. Who is providing us with this money? Our parents? They already pay for our education. Students need to learn that they will need a fuel other than their parents' wealth as they become more and more independent. Grades don't always reflect competence, either. A child who is inherently bright needs to learn there is always room for improvement, whatever his or her report card says.

If students are payed for their good grades the students that don't really care too much for school will be encouraged to try harder to increase their grades, thus getting payed. With the students that don't care, now caring about school so that they can get payed their will be less kids getting into fight and do drugs if they have something more important to put their minds on. If there is no kids getting into trouble because they focused on their grades we will have a safer community with the encouragement to get good grades to get payed rather than bad things like drugs. Encouragement is a great reason for students to get payed for good

My first reason why kids should be paid for good grades is, It would teach the kids the value and importance of money. Next, by teaching them that, kids would learn to save up money for more important things like college. Also,
