Getting paid for good grades is sending a mixed message to our kids. By paying kids for getting A's, we are showing them that you should only work hard in life so that you can be rewarded with money. But this isn't always the case. Sometimes you should work hard , becausee it is the right and expected thing to do. You should be giving %100 of your effort in school because it is the responsible thing to do, not because you are getting paid for it. Students should be working hard to learn skills that will help them as an adult, not working hard for the purpose of making money. Working hard is just a part of life.
What is the author's point of view?

• We should pay students for good grades to teach them important life lessons.
• We shouldn't pay students for good grades, they should want to work hard because it is the right thing to do. 
• Working hard is important.
• Being responsible is important.
