do you get bribed to do well at school? (1 Viewer)

[bettina44]

do you need a carrot to be dangled in front of you or do you motivate yourself? what do your parents try to bribe you with?

I motivate myself. Parents try yo tell me stuff but i ignore them. When they try to tell me to relax i say not. When they tell me to work harder i continue bludging. I know myself and my study best, not them, and i did well regardless.

No. I am my own motivation. So I get 99.9999....% motivation from myself

However, some "bribes" from parents will definitely help.

I don't get a thing from my parents.

The only thing driving me is knowing what i want to do when I'm older and being prepared to do anything moral to get there.

My parents just expect me to do well on my own, so they never bribe me. My sister, on the other hand, slacked off most of her life, so whenever she brings home an A they're all "oooh $$$ shopping spree, well done sweetie!"

This may or may not have anything to do with the fact that my sister can wind anyone around her little finger...

My parents subscribe to the idea that my education is purely for my own benefit and thus it is my own responsibility to motivate myself and do well. My parents probably leave me alone because they know they could never motivate me as much as I can motivate myself thus essentially making them redundant in that faculty. As a result my parents don't bribe me though they are very accomodating in regards to most of the things that I ask for. However I think that my parents have subconsciously started to expect me to also do well so although they don't push me and/or bribe me there is always that level of expectation...Especially in some subjects that will remain nameless.

My parents offered the bribe that if I did well, they wouldn't brutally glass and mutilate me.

Worked pretty well.

100% my own motivation

 

[annabackwards]

It's my own motivation- i want to do well for myself so i can see how far i can go when i try

HOWEVER i do get "rewarded" if i do well... which doesn't really mean much because i could just ask for it if i needed it. But the satisfaction in actually earning something for a change is the best ^^

But besides that they don't interfere at all, besides when i tell them to remind me that i have an assessment due within the week if i do so i remember to do it

I wish I were bribed. Lol.

It's never too late My friend just told her parents i got "rewarded" if i did well so she's being rewarded if she does well, like comes 1st or something in an exam XD

And it was a joke about the $1,000,000 ahaha

I asked my mum for a phone but she wouldn't get me it so I was like, I will do work and nothing else these whole holidays. No Facebook, no Bebo, no MapleStory, just work, MSN and BoS (for help xD).

She replied, that's too easy, that's not enough to earn a phone -.-" Then she said if I do well in the HSC she'll get me the phone so I guess it's a bribe? I argued I got a band 6 for Maths but that didn't work xD

It is indeed a bribe

Get band 6 for like everything and then demand a kick arse phone ^^

One of my friends has this deal with her parents:
-If she tops one subject (i.e. comes first in the state in something for the HSC) she gets a giant teddy bear
-If she tops two subjects she gets a kitten
-If she tops three subjects she gets a car
-If she tops four subjects (or all of her subjects) she gets $1,000,000

One has to wish her the best of luck.
