Parenting: Money for good grades??

[AreYouReady?]

I did not pay my children for good grades, though I am not opposed for anybody else to do so.

I figured that since offering to pay them to do work around the house did not work well...

My oldest son likes to work with his hands and he likes mechanics...so he went and got an AS degree in Auto Mechanics. That was all the schooling he wanted.

My other son likes the finer things in life...so we told him he better make good grades and graduate with at least a BS degree. God willing ...that will happen in 3 weeks with a bio-chemistry major. Graduate school starts in one month.
