Money for Grades


Giving children money for hard work seems a lot like the real world to me.  If we lived in a world with unlimited funding for education this would be a great idea.  Kids would get a better idea of what it is like to be rewarded for their hard work.  They would also be given the opportunity to learn how to manage money at a young age.  Managing money could quite possibly be one of the greatest things a child could learn.  I believe one of the largest problems for a person when they get out on their own is finances. It seems to me that money management and finances is overlooked in the education process.  We would give our children a far greater chance for success if we helped them learn more about finances.  So while there is probably not enough money in the education budget.  Maybe this could all be done hypothetically.  Maybe even letting the children invest the money they make for their grades.  The kids earning the most money with their grades and investing could receive some real money in the form of a scholarship.
While I do not see anything wrong with giving children money for hard work it really does not seem possible to be able to afford giving every student in the school money for their grades.  But I do believe it would be a great idea to teach them more about money management.
 I do not think you meant that college students were receiving money for their grades if they are maybe I need to transfer schools.

  1. I too believe the earning and saving of money is a real benefit of this program. It is a life skill every child should be taught. The sooner children learn that saving money is good, the more responsible they will be in the future.
