Bright Minds, Poor Grades

Pretty much what it says. Here's the best quote that had me in tears:

Let me describe a typical situation where the parents decide to offer something to their child that they believe he wants: money. They decide to pay for grades. Any amount will do, but let us say they decide to pay $10 for every A, $5 for every B, $2 for every C, nothing for a D and fine him $10 for an F on the report card. Now, to be fair, they offer the same deal to the higher achieving sibling. At the end of the grading period, the high achieving sibling has broken the bank and the under achiever ends up owing the parents money.

Sound familiar? It still makes me laugh.

This book seems to hit the nail on the head; we'll see how it goes.
