Trigg Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 for those who don't know, Wang Fang is my 15 years old chinese stepdaughter. Her English skills are fair but still not at the par of her classmates. Her newest report card reads ESL=A, Algebra II=A. Health and Wellness=A and Phsysics(ouchy)=A So with nearly one year of high school behind her she has a cumulative GPA of 4.0. YES, I'm braggin' She's just a chip off the ole step-block.

Trigg Posted April 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Next year she will take regulay English classes. I'll hep her studee much as possbul. . Having her here has been a treat. Imagine HER telling ME to turn down the rock n' roll so she can study. And ME asking HER why she got home so early and telling her she sould spend more time hanging out with her friends. This is a whole bunch different than life was when my other kids were teenagers. Me thinks Wang Fang is having a tough time raising me--as is her mother!! Link to comment
se_lang Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Trigg it sounds to me like she needs an influx of cash flow, My kid in grade school gets $5 for every "A" yours is in high School I think she should get more. Maybe we should start a poll to see how much she should get per "A". Link to comment

Oh, wait, she's Chinese-maybe it will. I'll start the bidding with uhhhh-$2.00 per A. I'm a real big spender. Link to comment
Dan R Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Hey guys she is already getting A's. Why pay her and teach her to only excell when bribed. Ah I see she is failing Capitalist class. Link to comment
Trigg Posted April 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Hey guys she is already getting A's. Why pay her and teach her to only excell when bribed.Yea, what he said. I likes the way him thinks. She should pay me when she gets A's, that'll teach her the value of an education!!!!! Link to comment
Dan R Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 You've got the idea Trigg but consider a sliding scale. A= $1.00, B= $3.00, C= $9.00, D= $27.00 and F = $81.00. Now she will study to avoid being broke or indebted to you. By the time she finishes school you have increased retirement security. A win win situation. But play fair, no introducing a boy friend or hiding her books and homework so you can get rich off of this. After all this is simply teaching her the benefit of excelling. That other system usually is faulty because if the child doesn't want to work for the extra cash they will just slack off and mooch off Mom or friends. Only a hungry horse will run for the carrot, but any horse runs from a stick. Link to comment
hypoclear Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Hmm Good idea about horses.. but I believe it is a sheep will run from Trigg. Sorry guy.. but you know how things start.. Excellent news about your step-daughter. Do we see a special trip this summer for all her hard work or some other reward? Playing hard is the other side of the equation.

Mark and Bea and ElizabethYea Mark, she's doing so well I may indeed treat myself to a special trip. Maybe a great New Zealand sheep ranch???? Oh, did you mean HER taking a special trip?? Dan, me thinks you are well schooled in aversive therapy! Maybe too well?? Link to comment
