Absolutely not.
How spoiled IS your child, exactly?
300 dollars because they did good in school like they are SUPPOSED TO?
Complete and utter bollocks.

ummm it's not straight As if there were two Bs. These children shouldn't have cell phones. They are nothing but a nuisance to everyone else on the planet. Maybe she should get a job and spend her own money on a side kick.

You are way to indulgent.. It seems you are trying to buy your daughter's love. Give her the gift of responsibility . Good grades are to be expected without bribes or rewards. Teach her the meaning of education and then she won't be disappointed when she falls in love with poor guy. She will never know the value of money if you just keep handing it out like an ATM machine.

Your daughter needs to find some other reason to do well for herself in life than expensive rewards from others. She needs to find within herself why a good education and doing her best is beneficial to her. If you continue to offer expensive material rewards, she might grow into someone who believes every time she does something good for herself she deserves a reward from someone. Since that is rarely what happens, you are helping set her up for disappointment. The intrinsic reward should be her own belief in herself and increased self-esteem. That only comes from within.

If you can afford it...then no one should be able to tell you different. I say go ahead and get it for her, but getting her everything that she wants will not teach her the value of things in the real world when she is on her own. Like someone said, she did what she was supposed to do. She got 2Bs...so not a perfect report card. But still Kudos to her for her hard work. It's your call in the end though...so opinions really don't matter.

No! I am 14 and i have gotten straight A's all my life and never an overall average below 95, and I have never gotten a thing! Good grades need to be worked for, and A's are rewards within themselves.

I say if the kid lived at my house she would die from the unjustness of it all. Nothing is ever given as reward for good grades. Things my kids have were earned through extra effort or paid for from their part time jobs. Sorry, I think parents should teach their kids the value of things and not hand them out just because they can afford to .

Your child works hard, and her reward is a good grade. The value of that is very important, and if you buy her material objects, it takes away from the understanding and appreciation of her effort and achievements.
