When my child is old enough we will reward trying and putting in effort. I fully believe that anyone can do well if they try.

We will never incentivize school with money but rather possibly give unexpected rewards when a he/ she does well/ improves/ makes a lot of effort.

To each their own, every parent will differ on this but for As & Bs we do. Just started it this year with our 3rd grader. In 1st & 2nd grade she got rewards like if she got All As we took her out to eat, her choice of place.
We are only doing $5 for As and $2 for Bs. But it's a good way for her to learn to earn and save and pay for what she wants.

while being smart may come naturally to some. other kids need a little encouragement. and if u encourage ur kids to study and get good grades now studying wont be such a bore. in the end didnt we all study so that we could land jobs and get paid loads of cash..
i say this way u teach the child the value of education
