It can help, however, if a child becomes too dependent on the reward, knowing that she expects to always receive something in return, he/she may always feel like they need to have that reward. If rewards are given, give them in a controlled manner. Reserve them for a major exam like a final or midterm instead of for every single test, quiz, or project.

I would say so. Most people work for their money while not liking their job. Isn't the money the sole reason most work? So, if a good incentive was given for achievement of good grades, I think it would encourage working harder.

I think so. I remember when it came to report cards I got 20 for every A , 10 for every B and nothing for C. I worked my butt of and got straight A's after they started rewarding me.

It would definitely encourage the student to work harder if not give their best. This will promote healthy competition and would be a positive influence for the student.

It works better than punishing good grades. It does, however, help encourage cheating, as well.
