Parker is in the 7th Grade this year. He also doesn't get to come home early like his siblings. Darn it!! He came home from school today and said I wish I could stay at school all day long. It's better than being at home. What??? I couldn't believe it!! Just Kidding! I remember those days too.
Well this year we made a deal with Parker that we would give him 10 Bucks for each A that he got on his report card and that If he got straight A's we would give him a Hundred Dollar Bill! Well I didn't really think this was gonna stick or even make a dent to say the least, but I am starting to think that money talks to this kid. He really has made a change this year and is worried about his grades and checks them online and makes sure they stay at a A. Of course, we as parents didn't make the challenge to him because of the money, but if it helps him and challenges him in school and he stays on top of things then I guess I'm all for it. I have to admit each child is different and I don't know if i'll offer this to my other children when they get older, We'll see.. Good Luck Parker!!
