Seeing Craig's post prompted me to share too...We are proud of Joanie too. So what, we used bribery... I told her if she made all A's, she'd get $100 bill. She really went for it and made 2 100's, a 99, a 95, 93, 91 and a 75. The 75 was in chorus and she asked the teacher and he said he didn't know why she made a C. (That dumbfounded her) I was so ispired by the 100s that I gave her $10 for each A, would have given 5 for a B and took $25 away for the C, so she still ended up with $35, so now she is really going to try for the As again, of which I am glad. This is a child who previously made Cs, Ds and occasionally an A... When she came here to live with us, she had been in special needs classes. Imagine living with us being a "normal" life, lol!?!?
I am happy to give her money for grades, since we give her money all the time; she's never had $100 though, so that obviously was a good bribe. There are those who think it is not a good idea, but to me, the pride she felt in those grades was good enough reason for bribery and maybe later, she'll just do it for that.
