[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 271188, member: 1514"] I read a couple of years ago that some state was giving Ipods to kids who did well in school. I cant for the life of me remember where it was. The kids who were interviewed said it was a nice thought but most of them already had them...lol. I wonder whatever happened to intrinsically wanting to earn grades for the sake of earning them. I dont think there was a darned thing anyone could have done back in high school to make me earn a grade. I was a difficult child and fully capable of straight A's. I actually dumbed myself down and worked hard to fail a few tests so I would fit in with the stoner crowd I ran with. You cant be smart in that crowd. Yes I was stupid back then. Fast forward to college and I worked my tail off to get a 4.0. Nobody had to pay me to get those grades. I did it for my satisfaction. It made me happy. If I made a low grade I was in tears...lol.
