We call them Freya burgers, and she gets one for dinner. It's basically a meatloaf recipe without any onion or garlic.

I never got paid for grades.

I never did, either. But - I don't think it's a bad idea - if it's incentive to work hard. Grades reflect having learned. Knowledge gained (mostly) sticks with us, which sets us up for continued learning.
I hope your son has a fantastic report card, Kiki - and that you go broke! ♡

Put a new queen bee in a hive made by stealing bees and brood from my best producing hive.

Cool! And fascinating!

 

[Sammster]

I will
Brew tea for my next batch of kombucha
work out on elliptical
finish planting my garden starts
take some gravel to my neighbor
de-bug the asparagus
make my dog's dinner burgers

Lucky dog!

Many grades have nothing to do with learned knowledge.

 

[Sammster]

Many grades have nothing to do with learned knowledge.

I don't disagree. But many do.

Editing to add: this could be a negotiation point.

* You can earn money for good grades in such-and-such academic classes - but not such-and-such non-academic classes.

-or-

* Good grades in all classes will result in reward ~ but, Non-academic classes will not gain the same reward as academic classes

I understand that my opinion on this matter is controversial. I never recieved money for good grades. I never paid money for good grades. But - every parent is different. Every child is different. Some adults recieve bonuses in their jobs, based on results. Some don't. It can be incentive.

I always gave my kids money for A’s and still do. I definitely wouldn’t say it is the only reason, or even the primary reason, that they have never made anything less than an A on their report card, but it didn’t hurt. It also shows them that I value their education and being the best they can be at whatever they do.
My son just graduated high school being an honor graduate and offered several academic scholarships. My daughter will be a junior in high school and on the same path as well. Giving $10 an A every 9 weeks is a whole lot cheaper than tuition.
