people might think that parents it is not a good idea to give money for a high
grade to their children. However, if money is properly used, it can give a good
influence on their children. In this regard, I believe that parents should give
money when they get high grade in school for two reasons.
First
of all, once children get money from their parents when they get a high grade
in school, they can be motivated. Understanding the children’s lives is necessary
to substantiate that money can be a good mean of motivation. Children usually
want to have money in order to buy something, such as toy or snacks, but the amount
of allowance that they receive regularly is limited. Hence, they want to have
more money. In that case, giving money for a high score on exam would make children
be motivated. Once it is guaranteed to get money for a high grade on exam, they
would study harder to get money. For example, when I was an elementary school
student, I did not do well on math. However, my father promised me that if I
got one hundred on math midterm exam, he would give me one hundred-dollar. As I
wanted to buy a toy, which was a limited edition, I studied harder than ever before.
Consequently, I got one hundred on the math midterm exam and also received money
from my father.
On
top of that, money given for a high score on exams enables students to learn about
the sense of money. In response to the increasing importance of children’s
sense of money, many expert opinions and research statistics reinforce the idea
that parents can teach them the sense of money. Experts say that once children
get money after lots of effort, they would realize how precious money is. Since
the course of getting money is very arduous and requires effort, they learn
that making money is not easy and money is not what grows on trees. Eventually,
they would be frugal of money. For example, my brother tended to waste money
when he was an elementary school. However, my father also promised him that if
he got one hundred on math midterm exam, my father would give him one
hundred-dollar. He achieved one hundred on the math exam and got money. He received
several times even after that. Finally, he realized that getting money was not easy.
So, he has become economical of money.
To
sum up, I believe that parents should give money when they get high grade in
school. Consequently, the importance of my view cannot be underestimated for
the reasons I mentioned above. |
