Do you reward Deans List?

No, we’ve never rewarded it, nor did my folks reward any of us for it (tho they did encourage & congratulate all of us for EFFORT). As far as I know their friends’ parents never rewarded it either.

My kids were fairly indifferent about whether they happened to make or miss Dean’s List, in HS & college. We were too, as long as they did their best and learned the material as well as they could.

My kids love learning for its own sake, for which I’m very grateful (sometimes wish they would work a bit more on trying to translate their knowledge/mastery into grades, but oh well!)
