People get paid by their parents for doing well?!
I recently found out that some people in my school actually receive money for every A* they get in their GCSEs. One person was saying that they will receive £50 for every A* OR A they achieve in their GCSEs!
Is this common? Will any of you get paid for doing well in your GCSEs, or did you get paid for your GCSE results?

I used to get paid by not getting a slap lmao 
My parents didn't give me any money for doing well in my GCSEs, they gave me a well done card though 
Woah - £50? 
There's this one girl in my year who said she's going to get a tenner for every A she gets. I'm not going to and tbh I don't think many people are anyway

My dad kept saying that if you do well, I will get you a present.....I don't think I got a present though.
Btw, why are you focusing on these people, focus on yourself.
I know a lot of people who got money, I personally got a £25 Paperchase folder for sixth form supplies and that was for all A*s :') If it helps to motivate people though then I don't see a problem with it
I'm getting a new MacBook Pro if I do well. So I guess it is common.

I know - really stupid isn't it?! Neither of my parents did for me that's for sure - and one of them is a Professor of Education! One of my friends got money from her parents (one of them was a banker) and then went to Cambridge - guess the friend wouldn't have been able to do it without a little incentive (the same family also paid for tutors and even paid of Prof. of English to read coursework, and probably the PS later although I don't know about that for sure!).
Think there's nothing wrong with seeking a little help when you need it but there's a limit to what's ethical. Anyway, in the long run it's much better to be able to help yourself than to rely on external motivation (that might not always be there!).

I get dinner for doing well
My friend is getting £200 for every A* she gets and £100 for every A. However, even after a load of revision she can't get As and A*s for most her subjects. The only A she ever got was in English and Media Studies mock exams.
So hopefully when I help her with her studies shes at least gonna get a couple of As
But it is a bit excessive tbh. The grades should be the gift but a little bonus treat won't hurt haha like going to a festival or going to a restaurant etc but £200 for every A* that's a bit over the top!

I'm not "focussing" on these people. I am just pointing them out, and wanted to know if this was a common thing.
