Parents, School, and Report Cards

Parents are know for giving money to their children for what kind of grades that they get. They give $30 for an A, $20 for a B, $10 for a C, and $5 for a D. I find that absolutely ridicules. Children should not get any money for B's, C's, or D's.
I get money for my grades from my sister. She pays me $50 per quarter and I have to have all A's . That is the only way. I also have this thing against seeing anything but an A on my report car. If I do see anything other than an A, I get very depressed. A B makes me feel second rate. It is a horribly feeling.
Anyway, back to my original thought. Is our need to reward our children ingrained from our past or just a mental thing. My parents never got paid for their grades.

    Well, I don't know of many kids that DO get paid for having good grades. It's the parents choice whether or not they want to bribe their children into getting good grades. What is funny about this though is that there are many, many kids that DON'T do their homework but manage to get their answers from someone else and get an A. So this could also be teaching these kids that you can cheat. Anyways, I definitely don't think that it's a mental thing or "ingrained" because in the end it's all a matter of choice.
