Would your parents ever bribe you to revise?
An article was published this week about parents bribing their children to revise, in order to motivate them to achieve good grades 
Apparently, three-quarters (78%) of parents across the UK have promised rewards to encourage their children to do well in their upcoming exams.
The research suggests A-grade students could typically be in line for around £300 – around £100 higher than the average £205 per child that parents plan to shell out.
One in 20 parents will also treat their child to a holiday to celebrate their exams, while one in 50 will contribute to the cost of a car.
Did you / have you been promised any extravagant rewards if you achieve good grades?
Or maybe your parents would never dream of doing so?!

My parents always gave stuff when I completed any educational or talent grade.
SAT all 5's - £100
GCSES A's and B's - £200
A Levels ----- well *cough* I got this face -->
But, then I got an apprenticeship job and I'm all good ahaha
If only.
My parents said we'll go get a roast dinner at toby carvery on results night if I meet the conditions of my firm choice offer (D*D*A) so...
Although my brother did say he would give me £100 if I got 5A's at GCSE, I got 4 A's and one of my B grades was 1 raw mark off an A

No..not really..
surely the grade itself is the reward?
My parents set up money rewards for my older brother to try and help him get better grades. For every:
A = $20
B = $10
C = $0
D = He owed them $10
E = He owed them $20
Unfortunately for them, I called favouritism and when I got to his age, they did the same for me...I be like,
Edit: God, I was a smug kid

My parents are Asian so it was more blackmail.
I was bribed with a longer life expectancy/well-being. Does that count?
No lmao
Yeah not proud of it but I just couldn't be bothered to revise so my parents bribed me. I got £50 for every A and £60 for every A* at GCSE. AS and A level was £100 per A grade. To be honest it didn't get me to revise any more.

that's a tad dull.
I either get a meal, cash, a holiday, two of them, or all of them!
