    It's especially funny because of studies showing that external rewards decrease intrinsic motivation. If you pay your kid to read something then they'll start to see reading it as a chore. I guess in a way it wraps around to being good because it kills off any desire they might have to read shitty "how to get rich" books :thonk:

      This is how I got my third grade class like, 2 pizza parties solo. The teacher would buy us pizzas for lunch for every 50 books the class read. The pizza wasn't great cause 3rd graders voted on toppings. I was just reading a lot of books at the time
