[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 341600, member: 1024"] Fran, I detest this practice. This is going on in our schools too. My kids begged me for money. Right now money is tight. I said no. Then Missy got a great grade on a test in a subject she's been doing very poorly. husband gave her $2., What did she spend it on? Lolligram at school. Now, easy child is crying, so husband gave him $1. because he got a good grade on his spelling. They both bought other kids lolligrams, but I can guarantee that neither of them will come home with one. If either do, I'll be surprised, but what if one comes home with one and not the other? The fifth grade class does it for extra money for trips or class luncheon at the end of the year, so I get it. However, this is another disappointing thing for some kids who spend money on the other kids but don't get one themselves. [/QUOTE]
