The question is should parents pay their children when they achieve better or high grades. There are three points that I would like to rise here. Many people think that paying their children for grades amounts to giving a bribe; others state that in life we get paid for the work we get done so you should not this lesson be taught early. Those of the later would also point out most of us do not have the luxury of living a life based on what we want to do for a living therefore trying teach children the value of doing work for the enjoyment of the task is not practical. Those against paying for grades, however, my state that some parents may not be able to afford paying their children for grades, and any parents that pays for grades may be putting pressure on parents that cannot afford to pay. I would also like to add to this discussion the issue of if one child is capable of high achievement while another child is not capable; certainly it is unfair to award only one child (who achieves the high grade) if both children put in high amounts of equal effort. This problem is not really fixed even if the parents resort to an effort or/and ability based system as children often do not view things in terms of merit (i.e., effort, ability, etc.), but rather instead results (i.e., grades) as such the higher grade achieving child may become upset that their sibling is getting equally paid even through there is a grade difference.
