Lynn Beattie has come up with a bonus scheme for her 16-year-old son who is currently in the middle of his exams
Meet the mum who has is paying her son to do well in his GCSE exams - with £100 up for grabs for every grade nine achieved.
She estimates she'll be paying her son around £600 for his 10 results, based on his predicted grades. Lynn's strategy has faced backlash from other parents who have questioned her decision to reward the result, not the effort. "If he was a 3s and 4s kind of child that wasn't academically achieving then I'd probably do something different. My children are all very different so I may come up with different strategies for my other kids.
She said: "He's just about to have three months off school. I'd like him to get a job but he doesn't want to at the moment. Whilst another commented: "As a teacher, I have to say I disagree with this reward system. Intrinsic motivation is essential in life and rewarding outcomes with cash teaches pupils to expect tangible rewards for hard work - not always representative of the real working world."
