Today I went to Brianna and Hailey's award assemblies at their school. Both got awards for Straight A's and Citizenship. I'm so proud of them both. We expect a lot from our kids. Once they get go to school we expect A's, nothing less. In fact, I don't pay the kids an allowance. I do however, pay for grades. They get a $1 per A and a quarter for E's in behavior areas. Again, they don't get paid for anything less. I think it translates well into the real world. As I have explained it to the girls, school is their job and they'll get paid for a job well done. If they work hard they'll get more money, just like if they work hard in college they'll get a better paying job. And the harder they work at their job, the more likely their pay will increase.
But their second award I feel is just as important. As much as I want them to excel in their studies, I want them to excel in their character. (Again, that is why I only pay for E's). I couldn't be more pleased that both girls were recognized for excellence in Citizenship.
Way to go girls! We love you!!!
