Do you agree with the following statement? 家长该不该奖励小孩钱当小孩拿到高分

All kids want some forms of rewards when he/she get a high marks in the exam. Rewards like praise or a picnic will spur children to continue working hard and do much better. However, some parents today give children instead of a gift or a tour. I think that will do harm to the development of kids. The reasons are as follows.
First, taking money as praise will make children attach too much meaning on the money, instead of on the joy of study itself. Study is a process of learning the living skills and getting to know the society. The significant of the process can never be measured by money. When I was in primary school, there has been a classmate whose parents promise to give money if he studies well. In order to get the money, he did anything he could to reach the right answer, even by cheating in the exam. He got the money he want but never get the knowledge. To him study is only a way to earn more. That is really a pity.
What’s more, children sometimes have not mastered the management skills of money, so too much money will confuse them and develop bad habits. They might buy too much candies that do harm to their teeth, or expensive dolls that are actually luxurious. Giving them little present might be better, since parents can decide want is good for their children. Even if they parents insist in giving children money, they should at the same time take the responsibility of teaching them to manage money. That will make sure he/she will grow in to a financially responsible person.
In conclusion, giving children money when they get good marks can encourage kids but may have some side effects, so parents should avoid doing that or be cautious about the side effects. In my opinion, they had better choose other ways like giving a present or saving the money as an education foundation.
