Counter Argument: Show me the Money!

Image result for kids with money
Dear Writers,

In writing, we learned to improve our writing by presenting counter arguments in our essays. Today, I will give you a thesis statement for which you must write a counter argument paragraph. Remember a counter argument has the following structure:

          Although (thesis statement)some may argue that (counter argument). For example,(evidence for counter argument). However, (evidence for your thesis). Closing sentence restating your thesis.
 
Now, it is your turn. Write a counter argument paragraph for the following  thesis statement: 

Kids should be paid for making good grades.

I look forward to reading your responses.

Your teacher,
Mrs. Braddy

  2. Although kids should get paid for making good grades, some may argue that they should just get an A+ and move on with their life like a normal person. For example, some people think if you pay a kid too much they get spoiled. However, if kids get paid they can do something good for their parents. Not like I would ever do something like that though.

  3. Kids should get paid when the get good grades because the kid has done a good job. Parents should be nice to give a little waward. However, some parents would think that that is kind of adult like. Furthermore getting money because kids get good grades makes them feel like they did a good job. Show that cash baby! Henry W.

  4. Although kids can get paid for good grades,some may argue that kids should get ice cream for getting a good grade.For example, you can have a delicious treat and your parents might let you get seconds.However,you can spend the money you got from a good grade to get the ice cream.Kids should get paid for good grades.Carson Neumann

  5. Kids should be paid for good grades depending on the grade. A=$100 B=$75 C=$50 D=$25 F=$Belt. Plus it would be good for your college tuition. And you could get a headstart on getting money. I don't agree with the fact of how we can't earn money at tis age from our grades.

  7. Although kids should be paid for good grades some may argue that you grades aren't that big of a deal. For example, you don't git money for your grades. However, you could have worked really hard on your grades and spent a lot of time working on math, reading, or science. Kids should be paid for grades.

  8. Although kids work very hard at school to get good grades some may argue that it's not so bad that you have to get paid to do it. For example, parents think all you have to do is study and you will get every answer right on a test that counts your grade. However its not that easy its very hard and kids do it to make their parents happy and work hard for it its not easy though. So I think kids should get paid and so if they get good grades their parents will be happy and they will be happy because they got paid its a win win!

  9. Although kids should get paid for getting good grades, some may argue that kids should not get paid for good grades. For example, you may think this would make kids greedy. However, this would probably improve grades because kids would be working harder to get these good grades so they would be getting something for their hard work to the good grades. I think if kids got paid for good grades this will make them work harder. Kids should be paid for their good grades

  10. Kids should get paid for good grades.One reason why is because they would want to do their best on their work because they would have something to look forward to after they finished.Another reason why kids should get paid for good grades is they would be focussed on their work instead of talking to their friends because if they did not work on their work then they would not get money.However money can make kids greedy and they will start to think of other things they can do to make money.For example,making beds,cleaning their plates, and even more when we should be doing these things each day without being paid or being told. -Georgia

  11. Although getting paid for good grades is good in my opinion. Some may argue that not getting paid for good grades is not smart. For example they may say you should only get paid for real labor. I think you should get paid because all you get for getting a good grade is a good job. I think kids should get paid for all their hard work. -French

  12. Although getting paid can be a good. Some might think that it is not nesasary.Because the grade is what you should be proud of the grade that you got.However some people think that it is well deserved and that the kids should get paid that they got a good grade.

  14. Although everyone loves moola, I think there should at least be a tiny limit on how much you get, and what you get it for. I think that you should get money for doing favors. Favors are nice things to do for people SO nice that they owe you somethings
