This is exactly what's wrong.
Mindless "rewarding" of actions you normally expect out of a normal thinking human devalues the extraordinary actions. Christ, talk about super entitlement syndrome here...
And what happens if you need to migrate away from giving them some reward? That they've grown old enough where that is to be expect and required, not simply "asked for"?
I'm fairly certain they'll read your intent to quit rewarding them as frequently well...
How is it a human learns from a young age what is good and what is bad? Is it simply the punishment of bad things and the ignoring of the good?
No one is talking about rewarding normal behaviour. A's and B's are not 'average' grades, they are above average grades. I don't see a single thing wrong with rewarding good behaviour. If you do, then you are ignorant to how human beings work as a social animal and how they are motivated. Sure not all humans are reward incentive motivated, but ALL of us work for some kind of reward surely.
