Title: Incentives
Post by: Miss Demeanour on January 06, 2013, 09:52:52 AM
The Brat hit me with the bombshell yesterday that most parents at school are incentivising their little sproglets to achieve better grades on their GCSEs.

She said this was basically financial reward depending on grade and quoted £40 for and A* grade, £30 for A, £ 20 for B and £10 for C etc  eeek: eeek: eeek:

Then she wanted to 'negotiate ' our terms  noooo: noooo: noooo:

Tell her to knob off, and warn her that those figures will be reversed, i.e, she pays YOU more the poorer the results. :thumbsup:
Bloody cheek.

When she says 'most' it really means just one set of parents.

my incentive was if I got more than 4 As they would allow me to go on holiday with my friends. I had to pay for the holiday though. Clearly I was a crap negotiator at 15.  noooo:

exactly. If you refuse to pay her do you think she will deliberately fail her exams out of spite? Don't promise anything, hopefully she will want to do well anyway.

she can hardly hold you to ransom can she. What is she going to do? refuse to do well if you dont pay her? stick to your guns Miss D. Like Growler said, if she works hard treat her for that after the exams.

You probably deserved a lickle treat of some sort like, unlike meself like, bloody thicko. Banghead

Still, it didn't do you any lasting harm and damage did it?

Trouble with doing this money for grades malarky, is that it won't make her a betterer personage for it, in fact, she'll go through life expecting monetary rewards for even farting in tune problee. whistle:

I have never interfered, always treated their education as theirs not mine.  Nothing to negotiate.
