[QUOTE="myfirstandlast, post: 118976, member: 3420"] daughter-14 is doing pretty good. She got into two electives she really wanted, Choir and Drama, and is part of the chorus in an upcoming play, and practicing after school every day. We also have her enrolled in a dog obedience class that meets every week for 8 weeks so that she can show our family dog in 4-H. She got a pet rat, and a cell phone. (Already went over her minutes, used a months' worth in a week! Yikes!) We have a pretty good motivational plan for her to do well in school ... for all A's and B's for the rest of the year, she gets $200 toward taking driver's ed this summer. (If she doesn't get those grades, she has to pay for the full cost herself.) We reward all three kids the same way, not with cash, but by helping them pay for something they REALLY want badly. Usually it's less than $100, but we felt she needed pretty strong motivation, as she was failing several subjects at her old school. [/QUOTE]
