Though, there are many reasons as to why children shouldn’t get paid for grades. If students and others disregard the topic that children shouldn’t get paid for good grades, it will be their own problem and it can negatively affect a students future due to not having certain life skills and will only end up hurting them in the long run.

“Do I need to do my homework?” is what a child says. Usually, parents respond, “Of course you need to!” People bribe kids to bring up their grades by handing them money. But, this will be where people move in the wrong direction.

I would rather fail something and learn from it, than pass with flying colors and not learn anything at all just because I wanted the money. Yes there is more of a reward for getting good grades rather than learning the material but what are you really getting out of it if you are not learning anything. Rags to riches, which means you might be the rag and at the bottom while you are in school, but if you learn something in school and work hard you while eventually be on the rich side of things.

The primary objective of education regards learning. Furthermore, parents invest a lot of capital to ensure that the students is being kept equipped with a quality education. Also, the scholarships present a challenge to both the students and the school faculties in that both parties have a feeling of entitlement and also reprimand fears regarding the value of the investment on the students (Johnson).

The stress caused by these standardized tests can be really easily avoided.

The issue of school uniforms has been around 1969 ever since the US Supreme Court issued a law that kids could protest if it wasn’t disruptive. Bill Clinton also supported this because he didn’t want to see kids fight over expensive clothing.

Some families are performance oriented and so demanding that you have to do well in class, get a good grade and hence get a nice job.
